The first ayah gives the similitude of human life cycle in the creation of vegitation. Like the rain falls from heavens in the fertile land where seeds fertilize and vegetation breaks out and lushes the ground. This vegation stays around for a while pleasing eyes of on-lookers. Then in the heat of summer it dries down and die out. Winds of falls than wither and disperse that dried vegetable, which was once green, all over -- meaning, of little or no value -- becomes lost and unknown...and Allah is quite capable of doing anything. In surat Yunus, Allah gives similar example: The parable of the worldly life is but that of water which We send down from the sky so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat.
This is to show the temporal nature and value of life, its short span. The next ayah talks about the higher value and belongings of the life hereafter than one in this world
Ayah 46 of Al-Kahf refers to belongings of life in which one may begin to take pride are wealth and children (continuation of lineage). These are the belongings of life that come into existence like the way explained in the previous post (tafsir of first ayat) and they will not last for ever. But the good righteous deeds that last, are better with your Lord for reward and better for hope.
Main idea is that life and its belongings last till an appointed time of epiration. That is, standing on a ground that will fall off one day, and thinking it to be a final standing ground is unwise and dangerous. One who does not plan, prepare and invest to settle in grounds of permanance when the temporary one falls out, he/she will loose everything they invested in it and will find nothing in the permanant land of residence because they didn't invest in it.
Generation before us understood but ignored it. Our generation do not want to understand. Generation after ours, thinks Quran and prophet's teachings are impractical.
May Allah give us the sense to understand His book and follow it. Ameen

samajhte to hum bhi hein
but we dont love our kids as we shd love them
y dont we do anything to save our coming generations
That's the dilemma of our people, we love ourselves more than our children even more than Allah. Quran says: "O you who believe, save yourself and your families from the fire of hell whose fuel would be humans and stones."
people who love themselves above everything else become very self centered. They think of themselves as the cneter of of the universe. All things must serve upto them. This ailment of their heart needs treatment bcuz selfishness spreads like a contagous disease.
