Acquisitions

A devata said:
"One who has sons delights in sons,
One with cattle delights in cattle.
Acquisitions are a man's delight;
Without acquisitions one does not delight."

The Buddha answered:
"One who has sons sorrows over sons,
One with cattle sorrows over cattle.
Acquisitions truly are a man's sorrows;
Without acquisitions one does not sorrow."
