Dukkha · unsatisfactoriness

dukkha
nature
Usually "suffering," which is too narrow: the word covers outright pain, but also the ache of change, and the low background friction of a self trying to hold conditions still. The image behind it may be an axle that does not sit true in its hub.

The first truth, and the term most often mistranslated into pessimism.
