Quote of WisdomA good friend sent this a couple of days back and when reading it, I felt guilty that I, sometimes, get too caught up chasing after wordly things. Instead of holding onto what we already have (Family, shelter and buddies), we're always wanting to get the best grades, jobs, friends, approvals from people, and getting rich. Sure, these things puts you on an edge before everyone else.
But how often do you sacrifice the important for the unimportant?
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
