Foolish want to make impermanent, permanent
The body is born, it develops, stays, creates other bodies, dwindles and then vanishes. But foolish men want to make a permanent settlement of the perishable body and think that their estate, children, society, country, etc., will give them protection.
They forget their permanent identity and become foolishly active for impermanent occupations, forgetting altogether their prime duty.
