Bowl of Saki snippet from February 19:
"The final victory in the battle of life for every soul is when he has
abandoned, which means when he has risen above, what once he valued
most. For the value of everything exists for man only so long as he
does not understand it [my italics]. When he has fully understood, the value is
lost, be it the lowest thing or the highest thing. It is like looking
at the scenery on the stage and taking it for a palace. Such is the
case with all things of the world; they seem important or precious when
we need them or when we do not understand them; as soon as the veil
which keeps man from understanding is lifted, then they are nothing."
