This is how Buddhism outlines a central problem for human existence, as all human life exists of all these traits, however it also teaches that the acceptance of them is essential for harmonious living and to become enlightened. This once again links to the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path
In Buddhism, the primary purpose of life is to end suffering. The Buddha taught that humans suffer because we continually strive after things that do not give lasting happiness. We desperately try to hold on to things - friends, health, material things - that do not last, and this causes sorrow.
The Buddha did not deny that there are things in life that give joy, but pointed out that none of them last and our attachment to them only causes more suffering. His teachings were focused entirely on this problem and its solution.
This is done by recognizing the impermanence of all things and freeing oneself from attachment to these things. This will lessen suffering and eventually end the cycle of rebirth. These teachings are expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which together form the foundation of belief for all branches of Buddhism.

The Three Marks of Existence
All that exists in the universe is subject to three characteristics:
anicca.(Impermanence) Everything is limited to a certain duration and, consequently, liable to disappear.
dukkha.(Suffering) Everything is unsatisfactory. There is nothing that can be relied upon, there is nothing that can bring true happiness.
anatta.(Egolessness) Everything is deprived of a self. There is no self-inherent entity, nothing that can be controlled.
This is how Buddhism outlines a central problem for human existence, as all human life exists of all these traits, however it also teaches that the acceptance of them is essential for harmonious living and to become enlightened. This once again links to the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path
