The Dalai Lama Hits the Nail on the Head!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a question that was posed to the Dalai Lama:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"What thing about humanity surprises you the most?"

 

 

 

 

 



His answer was : “Man”

 

 

 

 

 





 

 

 

 

 



"Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money:

 

 

 

 

 



Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.

 

 

 

 

 



And then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn’t enjoy the present:

 

 

 

 

 



And as a result he doesn’t live in the present or the future.

 

 

 

 

 



And he lives as if he’s never going to die:

 

 

 

 

 



And then he dies having never really lived."

Especially fitting to read right now... I just got out after 3 days in the Cardiac Care Unit at the local hospital with Pericarditus(?)... an inflammation of the lining of the heart. Doctors orders... slow down... stop working so many hours... Now if only I could convince my employer who when I have asked before says "I will tell you the hours you work" Quote.

We should have a philosophical section, there probably never been truer words.....
