...about Humankind:
They get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
They lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.
By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
They live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.
and they should learn...
... that they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.
... to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
... that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.
... that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.
... that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.
