"欲しいものが手に入らなければ苦しみ 欲しくないものが手に入れば苦しみ 欲しいものが手に入ってもそれを永遠に保持することはできないからやはり苦しむ"
— Socrates
Simplified Meaning:
Whether you don't get what you want, get what you don't want, or even get what you want, you will still feel unhappy eventually. This is because everything changes and you can't keep what you want forever.
