Is suffering inherent in life?

I read the following on the internet: > The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha): Life involves suffering, > dissatisfaction, and impermanence. This suffering is inherent in > birth, aging, illness, and death. > > The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering (Nirodha): It is possible to end suffering by eliminating attachment, craving, and ignorance. If suffering is inherent in life, how can suffering be ended while being alive? Must I commit suicide to end suffering? Is committing suicide eliminating attachment, craving and ignorance? What exactly did the Buddha teach in this First Noble Truth?
