Money, women, wine...
Such things are nothing but dust, my friend. They come and go. They weigh heavily upon your heart even if you don't have them, they weigh even more heavily when you do.
Being so focused on such meek pleasures is enough to drive any man insane. Best you train your body, mind and soul to be happy without depending on them. As the Buddha says, craving leads to suffering.
There is truth in those words. Emptiness is form, and form is emptiness. You have an emptiness in your heart, which shapes your life. Your life on the other hand, has shaped this emptiness.
