- Gautama's dad did not want him to be a big ruler, and since the household is patriarchal, he decided to give him all the luxuries in order to make Gautama happy.
- The young man went to the real world and realized that people suffered. He saw a injured man, a old man, and a corpse.
- The young man isolated himself from all of his luxuries. He started to contemplate in order to find the answer of why people suffered and had pain. He was very focused, for he ignored all surroundings and only focused on one thing.
