Here kitty kitty;
Well, I think you are no less illiterate and ill informed about the contents of the Pali Tipitaka and no less humorless than anyone else in generation proze. Must be the the prozak. This must be why you also participate in downplaying the critical nature of the situation and want to "be happy" instead of "dealing with this shit".
It is a rare to find anyone these days who does not liberally misrepresent what the Buddha actually said. The Buddha referred to the body as a weeping and wet bag of pus and shit with nine wounds.
Get a clue, get an education, do the reading and get back to me.
A membership with the PTS at Oxford is a bargain at three times the price. Spend a decade in a library and develop an "actual" "sense of humor". Until then, you and the rest of the illiterate morons of generation PROZE can continue to "Eat my shorts". I'm including the honey mustard gratis.

Bag of Bones - A Miscellany on the Body compiled by Bhikkhu Khantipalo © 2006"Bhikkhus, when one dhamma is developed and cultivated it leads to a great sense of urgency, to great benefit, to great safety from bondage, to great mindfulness and full awareness, to obtainment of knowledge and insight, to a pleasant abiding here and now, to realization of the fruit of true knowledge and deliverance. What is that one dhamma? It is mindfulness occupied with the body."
— A. I. 43, trans. Ven. Ñanamoli
The Advantages of Mindfulness of the Body
1. One conquers aversion and delight,
2. And fear and dread as well.
3. Besides, one can stand cold and heat, hunger and thirst, troublesome things in the world, harsh words and painful feelings.
4. One obtains all four jhanas,
5. And supernormal faculties,
6. The heavenly ear element (clairaudience),
7. Knowledge of others' minds,
8. And of all one's past lives,
9. And sees besides, how beings appear and pass away according to their kamma.
10. Finally one enters upon the two deliverances (of the heart and by wisdom), and all taints (asava) are abolished.
— M. 119, Mindfulness of the Body
"When anyone has developed and repeatedly practiced mindfulness of the body, he has included whatever wholesome dhammas (mental states) there are that partake of true knowledge (vijja).
"Just as anyone who extends his mind over the great ocean has included whatever streams there are that flow into the ocean, so too, when anyone has developed and repeatedly practiced mindfulness of the body, he has included whatever wholesome dhammas there are that partake of true knowledge."
— M. 119, trans. Ven. Ñanamoli (revised)
"Now this body that has material form consists of the four great elements, it is procreated by a mother and father, and built up out of boiled rice and bread, it has the nature of impermanence, of being worn and rubbed away, of dissolution and disintegration. It must be regarded —
• as impermanent — as (liable to) suffering,
• as a disease — as a cancer,
• as a dart — as a calamity,
• as an affliction — as alien,
• as a falling to pieces — as void,
• as without a self.
"When a man regards it thus, he abandons his desire for the body, affection for the body, and his habit of treating the body as a basis for his inferences."[1]
— M. 74, trans. Ven. Ñanamoli
"Come, bhikkhus, abide contemplating ugliness in the body, perceiving repulsiveness in nutriment, perceiving disenchantment with all the world, contemplating impermanence in all formations."
— M. 50, trans. Ven. Ñanamoli
