Unwilling to settle for mediocrity yet lacking ambition

   You're unwilling to succumb to depravity yet lack ambition; your inherent laziness has mired you in a quagmire, making you utterly hopeless.

  Effort and reward go hand in hand. Will you completely overcome laziness, or resign yourself to mediocrity? Life's journey is long, and all beings suffer. Buddha is compassionate, but he will disappear when you struggle in darkness. Buddha believes all people suffer, fate is impermanent, and one must save oneself.

  People say, mountains may crumble, people may run away, only self-reliance is truly reliable. Even the closest lovers, parasitic on each other for too long, will lose love and dignity, leaving a miserable couple. Your elderly parents, your impoverished family—how can you bear to devour them? Thinking back, I haven't wronged anyone, except for burdening and causing them suffering, leaving only a heart full of bitterness.
