Life is an Unfortunate and Temporary Condition
In the beginning the universe was created, which has largely been regarded as a mistake.
Birth is a time of joy, they all say, and death is a time of great sorrow
But babies come crying and the elders die smiling, and we all live on time that we borrow.
Desire is pain and life is a burden.
We all fear the end, but will death really hurt us?
Each day that goes by is a day we survived, and we don't have to dread our tomorrow.
