The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity answered. 'Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he's so anxious about his future that he doesn't enjoy the present.
The result being that he doesn't live in the present or in the future.
He lives as if he is never going to die and then he dies having never really lived'...
Thank-you for this post. I am just reading it but it is a time when I need it most.
