Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The skin is wrapt in folds and wrinkles. The hairs turn white. Age destroys a man. What can he do to avoid this! At sunrise men rejoice thinking they may work and earn. At sunset they can enjoy themselves. But they do not realise that their lives are shrinking. As the seasons come round, men fancy they will ever be fresh and feel happy. But with each cycle of the seasons, our lives are shortened. As longs of wood come together on the wide ocean, and having drifted together for a time, part from the another, so do wives, sons, kinsmen and possessions come together, and separate. This separation is unavoidable. No one on earth ever escapes the course of nature. So mourning for the dead is of no avail. Nor can one escape when one's turn comes.
