Suffering is the essence of life - Buddah.
Why so, because if you are living, then you have desires and if you are attached to the desire then you are attached to the outcome. So you are expecting the outcome rather than what is in the present always.
The freedom is detachment. Detachment from a desire will free you because then you are ready to accept what is now - whether your desire has been fulfilled or not. When masters talk about acceptance, what they mean is to accept what is now rather than waiting for the moment when your desires come true.
