M: little troubles fill our lives
Y: when?
M: all the time, all the time
Y: yeah, when I was young, there were troubles. now when I look back on those days...
M: they are all good jokes now, eh?
Y: yes, yes.
M: today's problems make them look smaller or silly?
Y: probably...
M: but the silly smaller problems then were the biggest problems you thought you'd ever face
Y: yeah, if those problems were solved, there was nothing more to worry about, at that point of my life
M: but they were solved
Y: and there were more...
M: yes, there were more...
Y: well, living is hardship!
M: existence is hardship!
Y: simple life is a myth, for survival is hardship, on any plane - physical or emotional
M: we live every moment dying to solve that biggest ever and the only problem
Y: and arriving at absolute measurements of trouble or hardship is impossible
M: the worst problem that one has ever faced in one's life time is the worst problem of one's own
Y: and every one would have faced or would be facing the worst problem at any or some point in time
M: you problem is no easier than mine
Y: and my problem is no easier than yours or theirs
M: we are all at the threshold of it - we experience the maximum possible trouble at every moment as we live, we endure the utmost pain
Y: there is no escaping it
M: and realizing this, is happiness!
Y: yes, yipee.
M: yipee.
