Gain and loss, joy and sorrow

[Guest guest]

The gain or loss which is momentary is not

real. So, too, joy or sorrow is a momentary

state; the joy over a gain today may tomorrow

prove to be a sorrow. If we knew the realities,

we should never grieve over the loss of

things which experience shows to be only of

a transient character.
