No, it didn't. I am amazed by the extremely poor comprehension ability of yours. How do you perceive that this passage describes the whole of life? "Birth is undesirable, aging is undesirable, death is undesirable; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, & despair are undesirable; association with the unbeloved is undesirable; separation from the loved is undesirable; not getting what is wanted is undesirable. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are undesirable." From my perspective, marriage is very much like gambling. You are 'successful' only merely because you are lucky. Statistically speaking, if you were to marry each and every woman on Planet Earth, 30% to 50% of all your marriages would end up in divorce. Gambling is very much a delusion just like marriage. If that is the case, why did you label me as a terrorist in this thread in post #117. A terrorist is someone who imposes his views on others by force. Don't you think I deserve an open and sincere apology from you?
