Number One, in a nutshell: life is pain
And (Number Two) life's pain is caused
By desire; so if Old Smengie desires
A coffee date date with Paige Spiranac
(Google her) because It might possibly
Lead to "something," then Old Smengie
Will feel pain and not just because he
Desired the "wrong thing" but because
He desired "anything" at all. Fortunately
(Number Three) there's a way out of
This predicament which is to follow
(Number Four) the Eightfold Path
Which says (once again, in a nutshell)
Do the "right thing." Problem solved!
