Life is a fleeting place of enjoyment, a place where hopes are dashed, where disappointments are spread far and wide for all to see, where aspirations are cut short, where love is nothing but a speckle of dust, where betrayal is rubbed on the face of many, where cravings are just another mirage, a reflection of the ephemeral nature of life.
