“ All things everywhere are perishable and easily captured, and anyone who becomes attached to them in any way will necessarily be troubled in his mind, and worry about what the future will bring, and be subject to fear and sorrow, and is bound to be frustrated in his desires, and to fall into what he wants to avoid. ”
