Man's life is but a breath, his days like the wink of the eye, his glory like the flowers of the field which brighten in the day and quietly fade away. His pursuits like a chase after the wind. No wonder the Bhuddists say " life is an illusion"

Indeed, life is a 'frame' , the non-existing being framed into existence. No wonder the world is full of contest for power and wealth, altogether 'vanity'. As King Solomon said, 'a chase after the wind, altogether meaningless'
Then you may ask, why are we then sent into this world, to face tribulations and trials?
Actually, Life is an examination. We are here, each to be tested with the 'temporal' of this world, of which if we pass successfully, we will be received into the 'original' afterlife.
Don't live as if your life ends in this world, be conscious of the vanity of this world and set your heart beyond. Only in Heaven is the real Joy, Peace, and Fulfillment we seek.
Live with eternity in view"._
