The Buddha teaches that all things are impermanent anicca and therefore subject to suffering dukkha. The whole world, even the entire universe, rests on this fact. None phenomenon remains the same for two moments. Everything is in constant change. As soon as something arises, the process of decay has already begun. When we cling to things that are doomed to perish, then we shall fast and experience problems. But when we don't cling to anything or attach to it, then those problems won't be there. That's why the . learned Buddha the people that it is important to see the true nature of things, to get a deep understanding into the transient nature of things . When you train your mind well, you will become clearer in mind become, and one day you will reach the goal. You are then enlightened human being, someone who can handle any problem in life. Don't think lighting impossible for you, for the Buddha taught that everyone is enlightened can reach.
The tragedy of Patacara, a woman who lost her family and parents in a single day, is a good example of how suffering overtakes a person when there is no wisdom is. It is also a good example showing that everyone is enlightened can achieve and that the most imaginable misery can be solved by wisdom conquered. Patacara became hysterical with grief, but after she went to the Buddha had listened, she became calm and peace came to her heart. In Dhp113 and Dhp288-289 you can read how this was done.
