Dukkha makes us misperceive reality. We get so caught up in our own heads that we have no idea what is really going on. For example, just imagine that you are in the grocery store picking up milk, bread, and a few other basics. As you stand in the
cereal aisle trying to decide whether you’d rather feast on fruit rings or oat squares this week, someone behind you says, “Hey, get out of the way! You’re blocking the aisle, you idiot!”
