Buddha says that most people imagine that reality is based upon unchanging dependable facts. He asserts that people construct these facts by placing and linking the factors and conditions of existence in opposition to one another and that such constructions have no real existence. Even worse, people then settle down in preference and habit and do not "go forth from the triple world," and do not wake up to the reality-limit. For that reason they very often come to describe themselves and life itself as miserable. - Jill Bukkai Washburn
