Have you seen anyone that has not been affected
by the pitfalls of this world? And have you seen anyone that has not fallen sick? Have you seen any life that has not ended
with death? The world beguiles and impedes, it is happiness leading to evil: it ruins those who crave for it and it harms
those who benefit from it. Its seeker who laughs it will make cry and those who rejoice with its peace it will destroy. They
will regret their slips when they strive to achieve it. They will remain hostage to its fears and apprehensions. They will
wish to live just an hour longer...
Ibn al-Jawzee
