As usual, that is a rather shallow interpretation of the powerful symbolism within "Buddhism"
We are ALL the Buddha, we are ALL at different times and stages in our lives sheltered, pampered, isolated. Yet the fundamental truth of the Buddha is that suffering is a perfectly reasonable part of life, which is not too far off from Darwinian Survival of the Fittest. His feelings weren't hurt, quite the opposite, he expressed remorse at having been pampered in the first place. Further, the philosophies and insights of Buddhism provide an invaluable perspective on how to embrace life with dignity and compassion, especially when suffering adversity be it in health, finances, or politics. In Watts we got a saying, "It iz what it iz" which is the essence of the Buddha's wisdom, but something often forgotten in peoples "woe is me" approach to life. The Mayans have a similar adage, "Don't take anything in this life personal, the Universe is NOT just
fucking with you."
