## Chapter Thirty
**207**
What wise man would indulge in these objects of desire, which are initially extremely pleasurable but ultimately lead to the destruction of life, like poisonous fruits that cause trembling and burning?
**76**
These enemies in the form of desires cause more distress than the strike of a weapon, blazing fire, thunder, lightning, or even large serpents.
**77**
Driven by the desire for wealth, foolish men enter vast oceans, fierce battles, terrifying forests, rivers, and mountains.
**78**
Those who crave objects of desire wander even in the ocean, disturbed by the thunderous roar caused by the powerful blows of the long arms of aquatic creatures.
**79**
Lured by pleasures, men fearlessly enter battlefields where the sky is filled with a shower of arrows, like a courtyard filled with weapons.
**80**
Even in dense forests where wild animals roam with fearful eyes, these foolish men wander, driven by the desire for pleasures.
**81**
Driven by the desire for objects of desire, many people try to cross rivers filled with dangerous whirlpools and crocodiles.
**82**
Deceived by the knowledge of alchemy, potions, and strength, many men climb even the most difficult mountains.
**83**
Like an evil woman who forcefully embraces a man under the guise of applying hair dye, old age forcefully embraces us.
**84**
Those who are obsessed with pleasures rarely understand the difference between what is beneficial and harmful. What is the difference between a man consumed by old age and a dead man? Both are useless.
**85**
Old age is a great torment for humans, like a cold fever, because it forcefully throws us to the ground, causing trembling in our limbs.
