Bargaining for unimportant things.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Amma says there was a man who was going to take a plane to an interview. He had sometime and went shopping. He bought a few gifts but was shocked the price was $20.  He bickered with the clerk and the clerk had no choice but to lower the price to $15. Not satisfied he bargained the price down to $10. He felt proud that he had struck such a bargain. However going to the gate the plane had left. In the same way we come to the gate of death and realize we have bargained our lives away for  unimportant things.
