When we were little, the world was small, and it was easy to fill it completely.
When we grew up, the world was vast, and no matter how we tried, we couldn't fill it.
We once had the praise of our family and others.
We once dreamed of becoming great and successful.
We once hoped for lives of wealth and privilege.
But people grow up. They come to understand the nature of life, see reality clearly, and see themselves clearly.
Even if dreams are more than just dreams,
we are still ordinary people, living ordinary lives,
just to stay alive, and to live a little better.
