Dalai Lama was asked what the most suprising thing about humanity was, he answered: "The man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to gain money. And when he gets the money, he sacrifices his money in order to get back his health. And he's so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present; the issue is that he doesn't live in the present nor the future; he lives like he's never going to die, and so, he dies without having really lived ever."
Wise words. Translated by me. :) x
