Choices
You too shall pass away.
Knowing this, how can you quarrel?
How easily the wind overturns a frail tree,
Seek happiness in the senses,
Indulge in food and sleep,
And you too will be uprooted.
The wind cannot overturn a mountain.
Temptation cannot touch the one
Who is awake, strong and humble,
Who masters oneself and minds the law.
-- The Dhammapada
