Four Noble Truths of "Thermo"

Buddhist and Thermo seems to share unlikely similarities

The Laws of Thermodynamics and the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism share some structural qualities, that I would like to outline here.

• Zero and the first truth, dukkha: Thermo states that two systems in equilibrium with a third are in equilibrium with eachother. Buddhism states that there is suffering or dissatisfaction with life. Both are saying that there is a "game" and we are all playing it

• First law and second truth:

Seems like both are stating something exists, that it is a shared quantity, and

Thermo also has four laws, just discovered in unusual order.

• zero: If two systems are both in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

• first: total energy of an isolated system is constant

• second:The sum of the entropies of the initially isolated systems is less than or equal to the total entropy of the final combination

• third: system's entropy approaches a constant value as its temperature approaches absolute zero.

Buddhism has the Four Noble Truths

• dukkha (literally "suffering"; here "unsatisfactoriness"[note 1]) is an innate characteristic of existence in the realm of samsara;[web 2][3][4]

• samudaya (origin, arising, combination; 'cause'): dukkha arises or continues with taṇhā ("craving, desire or attachment, lit. "thirst").[web 3][5][6] While taṇhā is traditionally interpreted in western languages as the 'cause' of dukkha, tanha can also be seen as the factor tying us to dukkha, or as a response to dukkha, trying to escape it;[7][8]

• nirodha (cessation, ending, confinement): dukkha can be ended or contained by the renouncement or letting go of this taṇhā;[9][10][11][12] the confinement of taṇhā releases the excessive bind of dukkha;[7][8]

• marga (path, Noble Eightfold Path) is the path leading to the confinement of tanha and dukkha.
