Alas why do I live?

Fie upon the wretched life

which affords one only misery.

To live is to experience nothing but disease and pain. Pursuing in turn religion, wealth and pleasure,

one endeavors much but receives little happines.

 

While everything leads to salvation,

that is an impossible goal to achieve.

Those who desire riches suffer,

while those who have riches suffer even more.

Alas why do I live?

 

The lamentation of a brahmin (Mahabharata)
