From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

In the Mahābhārata, the Yakṣa asks Yudhiṣṭhira – “What is the greatest wonder in this world?” Yudhiṣṭhira answers

Yakṣa and Yudhiṣṭhira

Every day, we see beings (prāṇinaḥ) die, and yet those who are living, hope that they will live forever. What can be more astonishing than this? Mahābhārata 3.313.116

Indeed, we have all witnessed the death of someone dear in our lives, and yet we live in a state of delusion. We go about our days, making careless or unwise choices, ignoring things that are truly enduring. We chase after fleeting pleasures that have no meaning when the end draws near.
