A world where scanty joy grows amidst sickness, separation and death. Every living being, human or otherwise, throughout the whole universe is struggling for existence and this is a neverending battle. The law of impermanence lays its cruel hands on people. And then all youth will end in old age, all health in sickness, all strength in impotence, all beauty in ugliness, and all life in death. Nothing can stop this.
Death follows birth, as night follows the day.
