Why so ?
Because, whether they give rise to a pleasant, painful or a neutral
experience, this will always change, fade away, be lost & vanish...
This change takes place even at the very moment of the experience!
Sensing is the soil in which greed and craving takes root and grow...
Like the chronic morphinist cannot understand nor accept, that to
be clean, without using drugs, is better & more happy on long-term,
even so can the habitual hedonist -delighting in any sense pleasure-
neither understand nor accept, that renunciation & withdrawal from
all sense experience is far better and more blissful on the long term...
Urging for sense pleasure, one gains only ever more frustration & pain!
Seeing & knowing no other happiness, the hedonist runs headlong back
to rebirth, ageing, decay, sickness, change & death! Suffering Again ...
Again & again, life after life, again & again, universe after universe!!!
Like a rat in a carrousel, blinded by ignorance and bound by craving, do
beings, in this awful round of rebirth called Samsara, suffer repeatedly.
