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
[lipsum]
[Lipsum]
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.
