The Buddha compares the human condition to that of a traveler on a stormy night. Only from time to time does the dark night give way to a flash of lightning. Suffering (dukkha) is like the dark night that surrounds the traveler, while the flashes of lightning are those rare occasions of joy that excite the human mind. (birth, marriage, a promotion, etc.)
