There are only two afflictions in life…

A visitor to an insane asylum found one of the inmates rocking back and forth in a chair cooing repeatedly in a soft, contented manner, “Lulu, Lulu . . .”
“What's this man’s problem?” he asked the doctor. “Lulu. She was the woman who jilted him,” was the doctor’s reply.
As they proceeded on the tour, they came to a padded cell whose occupant was banging his head repeatedly against the wall and moaning, “Lulu, Lulu . . .” “Is Lulu this man’s problem too?” asked the visitor. “Yes,” said the doctor. “He is the one Lulu finally married.”

There are only two afflictions in life: not getting what you are attached to and getting what you are attached to. Anthony De Mello, SJ
