As a result of this kind of interpretation, dukkha comes to be seen as a purely subjective problem that can be “solved” by correct application of the techniques of mindfulness and meditatioṇ For dukkha is just the suffering unnecessarily added on to the inevitable pains and frustrations of life. This psychological reading turns the practice of the dharma increasingly inward, away from a concern with the pervasive dukkha of life and the world and toward an exclusive, even narcissistic, concern with subjective feelings of lack and anguish.
This does seem to happen which is why there must be a distinction between the types of dukkha, the inevitable kind (death, sickness, things not going our way) and the type we add by desperately wanting things to be different. What if we looked at it like this: inevitable dissatisfaction leads to craving for things to be different which leads to more dissatisfaction.
