The Four Noble Realities summarise the Buddhist teachings. They are usually called the Four Noble Truths. But calling them 'Realities' not 'Truths' is better English. (For example, "1+2=3" is a TRUTH; but "1," "2," and "3" are REALITIES).
The Four Realities are considered Noble because, if practised correctly, they lead to Enlightenment. They are:
1) Suffering
2) Cause of Suffering
3) End of Suffering
4) Path leading to the End of Suffering.
The Four Realities should be regarded in the following way:
1) Suffering "must be understood."
2) The cause of Suffering "must be abandoned."
3) The end of Suffering "must be realised."
4) The Eightfold Path "must be practised."
The cause of Suffering is Craving and Attachment.
The Eightfold Path begins with the practice of virtue.

Practise the Four Noble Realities for the sake of enlightenment.
Don't just talk about the Four Noble Realities: practise them!
The reason people suffer? They don't practise the Four Noble Realities.
Why do we suffer? Because of craving and attachment. Because we are unvirtuous. Because we don't practise the Eightfold Path.

Person 1: Hey, I'm so excited for may two-four. I've never been to Montreal.
Person 2: Hold up, you're like 14. This is for grade twelves only.
Person 1: It's okay, I'll just slip them a few twenties. Plus, I'm hot so it'll all be fine. *flips hair*

Typically, a three dots tattoo symbolizes involvement in crime or ACAB.
A Four Dots Tattoo adds the extra dot to symbolize “evening out the hate”.
It forms a diamond, and is a reminder that we are all made of the same things that stars are made of and to keep the light within alive.

when a woman has four penises (or dildos) inserted into any one of her orifices making the shape of a 4 leaf clover. Note: this requires the use of a small and very tight hole so that there is tension against the penises (or dildos) or the hole will tend to be shaped more like a square (commonly referred to as "square dancing" with a female)
Her asshole was so tight that it took us a long time to get all 4 cocks inside her, but when we did we were rewarded by the beautiful tight pucker of her four leaf clover.
