nimal dunuhinga - worth one's while

He is a Marathon runner
Stealing someone's collar.
Life is not a relay race my friend!
And the Hunchback has to jump over
So many hurdles,
But no hurray at last?

Quoted from a Buddhist scripture.

* [Happiness is when you get what you want, but joy comes from giving.Eventually you have to come down to the awareness that everything simply arises, persists and then disbands.]
