“Don’t run after pleasure and neglect the practice of meditation. If you forget the goal of life and get caught in the pleasures of the world, you will come to envy those who put meditation first.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
Chasing after fun things all the time and ignoring time for quiet reflection or meditation can lead to unhappiness. Imagine a student who spends all their time at parties and playing games but never studies. When exam time comes, they fail and feel envious of classmates who studied hard and did well. In the same way, if you focus only on short-term enjoyment, you might miss out on deeper happiness and personal growth. Taking time regularly to meditate or think deeply about your life can help you understand what's really important and find true peace. Balancing fun and self-reflection can make life more fulfilling and help you avoid regrets later on.
