On humanity

When asked what surprised him most about humanity, the Dali Lama answered, “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.”

We may not completely understand the reasons for what we do, or why we do it, where we've been, or where we're going, but if we continue to smile, laugh, look out for, and love each other, I think we'll be ok...
