Think like this for a second. It is true that we feel happy because of the affectionate and soothing things that exist in this world. Though, can you keep those things with you forever? You cannot at least keep the happiness for as long as you wish in your own lifetime. If you are blinded by these temporary things and attached in desire, then you will become sad and unhappy when you lose those. Thus, that happiness will not last forever. A long time ago, there was a king called Mundarµaja. He married a queen who had a beautiful figure that can allure anyone who sees her. They spent their time happily by loving each other, but unfortunately this queen was died after only three months of their marriage. The king was really upset and sad. He did not allow his queen’s body to decay. He put her dead body in an oil boat and stared at it the whole day without even eating or drinking. He was crying and thinking about the joy he had with her in the past. Think how short period of time that happiness stayed with him. In near or far future, you will have to face the sadness of death or leaving of your loved ones. When you lose them, you will also lose the happiness they brought to your life, and you will have to cry with immense sadness. Do you, therefore, like to face an unbearable suffering in the future because you were just being deceived by the temporary happiness you have in the present? I know you do not like to become a victim of this sadness. Therefore, try to overcome that desire and attachment. You will then become free from the suffering.
