Will post it below to share with you guys/gals.

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 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."

My good friend Nino comes to my mind when I read this. While most people that i know (myself included) goes in the endless pursuit of more cash, the Nino that I know travel the world, lives his dream, and flies one half of the world to be with his true love. I envy ya, bro!

Ahahhaaha I just have to drop by and read this. It's so true isn't it :)
Well said bro!
It takes all kinds to make up the world. Isn't the world an interesting place?!
I have to agree with Happysurfer :o)
I agree with the words of wisdom too. After seeing much deaths of friends in tragic accidents and illness, I try to have no attachments to everything if possible.
I'm glad to read it again. How true! Life is for living.
Very true live the middle path..
The Dalai Lama is a wise man and one shouldn't only see him as a political leader. And I am a wise man, too, but not so wise, haha. Thanks bro for mentioning me, I feel honored :)

Firstly, I agree with the Dalai Lama and secondly, I agree with you ... most of us are in endless pursuit of monetary gains.
I don't have such courage sia.
