description: "《119》因為欲望，所以愛和恨都是苦；欲求是苦，不想要也是苦，縱使你得到你所想要的，仍然是苦，因為，一旦你擁有它，你便活在怕失去它的恐懼中。在恐懼中，你又如何能快樂地生活呢？"

《119》因為欲望，所以愛和恨都是苦；欲求是苦，不想要也是苦，縱使你得到你所想要的，仍然是苦，因為，一旦你擁有它，你便活在怕失去它的恐懼中。在恐懼中，你又如何能快樂地生活呢？

Love and hate are both suffering because of desire. Wanting is suffering; wanting not to have is suffering. Even if you get what you want, it』s still suffering because once you have it, you then live in the fear of losing it. How are you going to live happily with fear?
