Buddha specifically said in his teachings "these things are unpleasant: meeting with what you dislike, being parted from what you like, and not getting what you want. If you give it some thought you may start to realize that there is more than enough dukkha to go around for everyone. This noble truth is the basic human problem, and is the starting place to one spiritual journey. In order to begin ones spiritual journey in sync with the four noble truths one must know and admit that suffering you have in life is unavoidable. Once a person has made this realization they may proceed to the second noble truth.
The second noble truth is "suffering is caused by craving," This means that there is a reason for all of this suffering. Our ongoing desire, is a desire that cannot be relived, these desires include; the attachment to material possessions, people, and relationships. We as humans tend to have an idea that" the grass is always greener on the other side" meaning that what we desire we cannot always have. This uncontrolled desire causes most humans to be unhappy with their current situation while on the search for the next best thing.9 This noble truth inspires followers to look within themselves and recognize the root of their craving and desire. When people become entangled in the capacious realm of craving, life becomes an iniquitous cycle and rebirth is imminent. For a person a person to conquer the Samsaric cycle they must learn to control cravings and desires and become non-attached to people and things, in doing that you move on in the four noble truths. The third noble truth is the 'the extinction of craving'. This noble truth can be explained as, there is such a thing as freedom from this unsatisfactory state "dukkha" when you completely abolish thirst and want for what cannot be. To eradicate dukkha completely one has to eliminate the main root of dukkha, which is "want".
