A young hindu prince once lived a life full of luxury. The prince was surrounded by beauty and youth. He had never witnessed old age, sickness, or death. Around the age of 30, the prince traveled outside the palace walls.What he saw changed the way he saw things. He saw a sick man, a corpse, and a tired old man.The suffering and death troubled the prince .He wondered why this pain and misery was happening. He decided that he would change the way he lived to find the answer. He gave up his wealth, his family, and his life of ease in order to find the cause of human suffering.He's the person who is known as buddha. 
I think it's interesting that he's never witnessed old age, sickness, or death! I think it's pretty interesting that he gave up everything just to find the cause of human suffering! I never knew about this so I think this was really interesting on how he just saw a sick man, a corpse, and a tired old man and how he was so curious about pain and misery just to want to change his life on why all that was happening.
