This worldly life is like an unchaste woman:

This worldly life is like an unchaste woman, who is not satisfied with
one husband. So! be satisfied with whatever Allah grantsyou from this
worldy life. Walking thereon is like walking in a land that is filled
with beasts, and water that teams with crocodiles. That which causes
delight, turns to be the source of grief. Pain is found in the midst
of pleasures, and delights are derived from its sorrows. As a bird
sees the wheat, sodoes one's insight perceive polytheism, while vain
desires render its holder blind. Lusts were granted in abundance to
humans, but those who believed in the unseen turned away from them!
while those who follow their lusts werecaused to regret. The first
category, are those, in which Allah says,which means,
They are on (true) guidance from their Lord,and they are the
successful. (AI-Baqarah, 2:5)
However, the other category, are those to whom Allah says which means,
(0 you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life)
for a little while. Verily, you are the MujrimGn (polytheists,
disbelievers,sinners, criminals, etc.) (AI-Mursalat,77:46)
When the successful ones are aware of the reality of this worldly life
being sure of the inferiority of its degree, they overcame their vain
desires for the sake of the Hereafter. They have been awakened from
their heedlessness to remember what their enemies took from them
during their period of idleness. Whenever they perceive the distant
journey they must undertake, they remember their aim, so it appears
easy for them. Whenever life becomes bitter, they remember this verse,
in which Allah says, which means,
"This is your Day which you were promised". (AI Anbiya', 21:103)/
