In the mundane world, what is perceived as the truth to one person might not be accepted as the truth by another person. Also, there are different levels of the same truth, according to the mental capacity of different people to see the truth. However, the Four Noble Truths is the ultimate truth as it is well expounded by the Lord Buddha. This means that the four noble truths is complete as it is already, you cannot simply deduct from the four or add another one to the four. The first truth is unsatisfaction which cause dukkha or suffering. Why ? Because all conditioned things in this universe is changing, and nothing is permanent. So if one holds the wrong view or understanding that things are permanent, then one will get very disappointed with the outcome indeed. Please refer to the diagram above on the other three noble truths.
