The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him about humanity, answered
"man... because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.Then sacrifices
money to recapture health.And then he us so anxious about the future that he
does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or
future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

It really makes you wonder in my opinion...
As an american i'm a part of a nation that
controls 1/4 Th of the worlds total GDP
and boasts 4% of its population. Yet how
much depth is there to such infinite wealth?
And what the point if our goal remains to
keep making it grow without using it as a
means to live and let others live?

I'd like to say that i'd lived
not worked all my life in pursuit
of life and missed it.
