The following question was posed to the Dalai Lama: "What thing about humanity suprises you the most?"
His answer was as follows: " 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 pay to enjoy the present, as a result he doesn´t live in the present nor in the future, and lives as if he´s never going to die, and then he when does, he dies having never lived."
