And so it is with each person; one's scope is perhaps a little different, but one's action is the same. All that one considers important in life, such as the collection of wealth, the possession of property, the attainment of fame, and rising to a position that one thinks ideal-any of these objects before one have no other than an intoxicating effect; but after attaining the object one is not satisfied. The person thinks, "There is perhaps something else I want, it is not this I wanted." Whatever one wants one feels is the most important thing, but after attaining it, one thinks that it is not important at all, one wants something else.
