The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow.

The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes,

because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death

becomes more and more acute. What bitterness!

He lives for what is always out of reach. 

His thirst for survival in the future 

makes him incapable of living in the present.
