In this life we're living in,
it's so easy to forget
and so difficult to keep watch
and to stay awake
So many things
distract us and bombard us
with temptations and lies
we sooner or later accept as truth
and allow to dominate even our subconcious minds
Passions, tastes, excitement,
hobbies, competition, entertainment,
things that entrance us
making us believe they're the only thing there is
To such a life
even sorrow is a gift
if it could awaken us
if it could help us realize
these are not the end of all our hopes
Declare then this paradox
and see that none can ever have complete
happiness in the present life
For to follow the way of comfort all the way,
one must succumb to forgetfulness
and thus suffer later in one's path
On the other hand,
to follow the way of wakefulness
one must carry his cross
so as not to let the flame of love
die out from his heart
