People often worry whether they look good in the eyes of the world; they fuss about being in tune with the latest fashions. However, the world’s eyes are ever changing. What it cheers today, it jeers tomorrow. Fashions are notoriously short-lived. Moreover, the world has many eyes – different people consider differing, even opposing, things…
Our bad habits, our attachments to base material things, are often extremely difficult to give up.
