Love of This World

Things which Make Love of This World Lacking

The inevitability of departure from lovers, the destiny of dwelling under the earth’s surface, penalty against all deeds and utterances, the quick passage of days, the occurrence of death on a daily basis, doubt in the morning that one would not live till the evening, doubt in the evening that one would not live till the next morning, the failure of humans before the natural disasters (such as earthquakes and hurricanes), the morbid feeling that if one flickers he will never open his eyes again, the feeling that the morsel one masticates he will not be left alive till he swallows it, being alive at the beginning of a day does mean that one would be alive at the end of that day, happiness at the beginning of the night and death at the end of that same night, building a house without being able to live therein, collection of money without being able to spend it, being present at a meal without being able to eat it.
