So if you get a disease and suffer, it's because you were desiring something?

You desired health and did not accept sickness as a natural part of life.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And that caused the sickness?

Of course not. The sickness was caused by external factors; your suffering from the sickness was caused by your desire for health.

I don't think you get to choose whether or not your illness is suffering at that point.
