Something the Dalai Lama said

Someone asked the Dalai Lama: "What's the thing about humanity that

"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

And he lives as if he is never going to die
and then he dies, having never really lived."
