great one’s material success, one inevitably dies
within the span of 100 years, leaving all one’s
wealth behind. Such bitter reflection shows that all
the sweet dreams of childhood and youth stemmed
from ignorance. For it is impossible to have
complete fulfillment in this present imperfect
world.
One’s goal in life—whether it be the making of
money, the acquisition of fame or power, or
anything else of this nature—proves less than ideal.

whatever he has achieved falls far below his
expectations. Thus he remains as unsatisfied as
ever. Finding success becomes as meaningless as
not finding it.
