155. The pursuit

```

Look, you are totally lost.

You have gone too far,

Far beyond extremity's length,

In your pursuit of pleasure-life.

Therefore,

You are completely doomed.

Look, you are still

Far, very far

From the Reality-shore

In your pursuit of soul-joy.

Therefore,

You still can try,

And

You still can succeed. ```
