The First Noble Truth: the Truth of Suffering.
Suffering comes from the 5 Aggregates, Bodily Form, Feeling, Perception, Mental Formatios, and Consiousness.
My bodily form, while not perfect, is healthy. My feeling of my arm being uncomfortable is not as great as those for whom my donation will help make healthy, the same goes for my perception of being uncomfortable with needles. I am tied to the mental formation that this body is mine to take care of but also the issue to the benefit of others in need. One day my consciousness will reach Enlightenment , love the Living Force and rejoin the Cosmic Force, but for now I will use this suffering for the benefit of others.
Namaste.
