A very poor, underprivileged person
might think that it would be
wonderful to have an automobile or a
television set, and should he acquire
them, at the beginning he would feel
very happy. Now if such happiness were
something permanent, it would remain
forever. But it does not; it goes. After a
few months he wants to change
the models. The old ones, the same objects,
now cause dissatisfaction.
This is the nature of change.
一個窮困, 落魄的人可能會認為
如果能有台車或電視機
會是件多美好的事情,
當他得到了這些,
開始時他會很快樂.
如果快樂可以長久,
它會一直持續.
但它不是, 快樂會消失.
幾個月後這個人就會想要換個新型號.
而同樣的這些東西現在舊了,
只帶給他不滿足的感受.
這就是無常善變的本性.
