And thus attract even greater suffering for themselves, as it is our defined in the superficial and negative on the desire of happiness, pursuing biological and emotional sense of satisfaction blindly, is unable to realize life's impermanent. Though intellectually know there is always the day of death, but psychologically, always escape it sooner to the facts. But, who can guarantee that they can survive until tomorrow ? This kind of illusion is also reflected in today's education. In addition to knowledge we have got, we need to realize the meaning of life and have spiritual growth.
