Those who have ninety dear ones have ninety sufferings. Those who have eighty... seventy... sixty... fifty... forty... thirty... twenty... ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... Those who have one dear one have one suffering. Those who have no dear ones have no sufferings. They are free from sorrow, free from stain, free from lamentation, I tell you."Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:The sorrows, lamentations,the many kinds of suffering in the world,exist dependent on something dear.They don't existwhen there's nothing dear.And thus blissful & sorrowlessare those for whom nothingin the world is anywhere dear.So one who aspiresto the stainless & sorrowlessshouldn't make anything dearin the worldanywhere.</blockquote>
