The first Noble Truth is that life and the world is full of suffering, but the Buddha did not speak English and the exact word he used was Dukkha which is a Pali word. Dukkha has many meanings. Anything that is temporary is Dukha. Many people, including myself sometimes, use the word discontentment instead of suffering, though this doesn't quite represent what the Buddha was teaching. The words the Buddha spoke when he spoke on the first noble truth were something like this:

What now is the Noble Truth of Dukkha? Birth is Dukkha, decay is Dukkha, death is Dukkha, sorrow, lamentation, pain, greif and dispair are Dukkha; not getting what one desires is Dukkha, in short the five aggregates are Dukkha.
