What is desired and what is not
desired, pleasure and pain, come unto
all by turns. Pain follows pleasure,
pleasure follows pain, unvaringly;
neither can last forever.

     Sorrow and joy, and fear and
fearlessness, loss, gain, hurt, health,
and life and death also, do come by
turns, to every one of us. Therefore
let none grow too elate with joy,
nor too depressed and overpowered by
grief. That which is fearsome unto
the unwise, that man bringeth no
terror unto those who know that,
on the whole, in net result, none can
exceed, in ambit, any else. All are
equal, before the laws of nature,
the scriptures tell us
