Life is Suffering

• Youtube.com/v/Dvi6n89JWUY?start=53&end=111&autoplay=1

When we encounter phenomena, and have a feeling of dislike, worry or pain, we say that there is "suffering". This should not be generalised to "all life is suffering", because there is also a lot of happiness in life! Noises are disturbing but nice melodies bring happiness. [...] Where there is happiness, there will be suffering. They are in contrast with each other. If we only say that life is suffering when things do not go according to our wish we are rather foolish. 

The Buddha says, "Life is suffering". What does "suffering" mean? The sutras say: "Impermanence therefore suffering."
