A reminder in our fragile mortality

These three I will hate…

And one is /age/

With age come weakness,

A weakness of the mind,

So I will meditate.

---

The other is /sickness/

With sickness comes pain,

A reminder in our fragile mortality,

So I will live lovingly.

---

The last is /poverty/

With poverty comes resentment,

A bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly,

So I will work hard and be contented
