00:00Strange are these ways.

00:01You will say, if one has been cheated a thousand times, why would he want to be cheated once

00:06more?

00:07But such is the story of humanity all around us.

00:10We fall in the same snare a thousand times.

00:14One is not a fool to be attached.

00:16One gets attached only in anticipation, only when you have hopes.

00:21Remember that you never go to a woman, you go to your hope.

00:25Once you realize that your hope is false, then would you still continue going to that

00:30woman?

00:31And that is why you are being cheated again and again.
