The vain world! Deceitful light! There is nothing good in you! A complete lie! Perfect cheating! You are deceiving us, laughing at us, scoffing at us. You show us years, and pleasures, and long health, but suddenly death overtakes us. And all this bursts like bubbles, bursts like a cobweb.
Such, my beloved child, is such worldly joy!
St. Joseph the Hesychast.
