Not in control of your rewards and punishments.

It is, actually, the opposite. Life is, in itself, both a reward and a punishment.
They are sides of the same coin.

As for pain, it is a buddhist concept, not in the physical sense you perceive it.

What about health, nature, weather. The good stuff.
How loan is a lone wolf? There must have been parents at some point? And grandparents? Cousins? Friends? Neighbours? Collegues?

My health is poor, especially considering how young I am.
I have no family. I was raised in a foster home. Both foster parents and my foster siblings were killed in a car crash when I was about 20, just a few years ago. I had one close friend who passed away with cancer at the age of 22. I am very lone, but not so lonely at least most of the time I'm okay.

I will consider myself now educated in the Buddhist meaning of pain.
That life is both is really what FMF has asserted. So you're agreeing?

I am trying to workout if Irish-American = British sarcastic humour.
I haven't worked that out, and like texts subtleties can be lost. So better I don't assume.

Nah, I'm not a Buddhist and my knowledge is meager, so please don't rely
on me for insight, please.

What does he say about life?
