Generations come and go, but it makes no difference.
The sun rises and sets and hurries around to rise again. When we make earthly pursuits are sole or ultimate aim, sooner or later we will come to an understanding of the futility of our position. This is because no earthly achievement or goal can ultimately satisfy. By nature earthly pursuits remain locked in the transitory place of sense experience and appreciation. And all of us instinctively know they must eventually pass away into dust.
