I find it funny that the author of Star Trek invented a Vulcan word to describe Jim and Spock's relationship. A word that means "friend, brother, and lover." Then he spends an entire page justifying the "lover" part, saying it was just a metaphor. An entire page when he could have avoided any misunderstanding if he had simply stated that the word meant "friend, brother." Nobody would have speculated or complained because, after all, he CREATED the word.

The Four Noble Truths

Buddha taught this at his first teaching.

1 - Life is suffering

Life is suffering and will remain so as long as one refuses to recognize its true nature.

People understood that they suffered, of course, but believed this was an unavoidable aspect of living. Buddha explained that it was not but arose from the skandhas (Sanskrit for "heaps" or "aggregates") which he identified as "the five aggregates of attachment" and further as "the five aggregates of suffering".

2- The cause of suffering is craving

The second truth is samudaya, meaning "origination", and addresses the cause of suffering

The cause of suffering is the craving for permanence in an impermanent world.

Believing one is a permanent entity, one constructs a false world of illusion which, because it is not real, cannot satisfy and leads to continual pain and disappointment. Buddha defines this craving as a passionate desire for things one cannot have.

3- The end of suffering comes with an end to craving
The third truth is nirodha meaning "cessation".
In order to stop craving, one must understand what one is actually craving and recognize that the illusion of permanence cannot satisfy one's needs. The end of suffering comes with an end to craving when one realizes that what one is craving is true reality, not illusions of reality Buddha encourages an abrupt stop to the craving behavior along the lines of abandoning a bad habit

4- There is a "middle way" in navigating life

The fourth truth is marga, meaning "the path", by which Buddha means his "middle way" in navigating life. He begins by simply stating that there is a path which leads one away from craving and suffering. The Noble Truth of the Path leading to the cessation of suffering is this: It is simply the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view; right thought; right speech; right action; right livelihood; right effort; right concentration; right mindfulness.

a thing that i particularly love about the hunger games prequels is how it shows that people have been fighting against the games since their inception

when i was younger and read the original trilogy for the first time i was so bothered how it was 74 years of games, i remember thinking how could it have gone on so long without anyone doing anything

these prequels highlight that people have been fighting from the get-go: lucy gray's defiance, reaper ripping down panem's flags to cover the fallen tributes, haymitch's games and how many others shared his ideologies - the capitol just drowns them out, they rewrite their stories so their efforts are forgotten

liberation takes time and it's built upon the actions of those in the past
