You do not ask too much of life, but far too little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. If you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. What fades and dies was never there, and makes no offering to him who chooses it. Furthermore, if you seek to take away from another, you take away from yourself. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Loss must offer loss, and nothing more.
Heaven itself is reached with empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own.
I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find, for what is valuable belongs to me.
To put it succinctly, if you value something that won't last forever, you're screwed! - Philip Urso
