The purpose of this article is to tell us that people's desires are endless. If they don't know how to satisfy them, they will get nothing. When they lose them, they will begin to wake up. There are gains and losses in life, and it is impossible to get all the good things. Moreover, there is no absolute perfection in the world. Learn to be content and accept what you have.
