Only those who live in harmony with their beliefs and worldview achieve a state of happiness. It is very important to understand that in reality you can never change what is already done. You must learn to accept the situation, whatever it may be.
“We are all deceived by happiness”

Others will become a burden that will have to drag all my life.

This stanza shows how easy it is to be disappointed in life, how fleeting it is. In youth, it seems to us that we will forever walk on this earth, rejoice in ordinary things. But closer to thirty or forty years comes the realization that we are here simply guests whom no one will ask to linger without good reason.
