眼前に起こることだけ present desire and present suffering

ただ、誤った考えだけを持ち、道も知らず、善も知らず、心が暗くて、吉凶禍福が次々に起こってくる道理を知らず、ただ、眼前に起こることだけについて泣き悲しむ。

They lament and cry about their sufferings, entirely misunderstanding the significance their present acts have upon their following lives and the relation their sufferings have to the acts of their previous lives. They think only of present desire and present suffering.
