From Horizon to Horizon

Lesson 21: From Horizon to Horizon

From one horizon to another, this world breeds only grief.
Frivolous fool! Don't go looking for suffering –
Even if you could make the sun and moon a crown for your head,
When you die, you'll still prop your head on a brick.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
