Long live the man without love!
A man without love
lives longer.
Longing lays the foundation of longevity.
Longing is born of desire.
The abandonment of desire
strengthens the foundation of longevity.
Freedom from wishing
leads to a blissful life.
A blissful life without love-
the life wished for
by a man without love.

Freedom from wishing leads to a blissful life - this line lands for me. Something tender about it.
