"Man surprised me most about humanity.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"
- Dalai Lama
About this Quote
The Dalai Lama's quote talks to the human condition of compromising our health and well-being in order to make money, only to then invest that money to try and restore our health. We end up being so nervous about the future that we forget to enjoy the present, and in doing so, we never really live. We end up being so focused on the future that we forget to reside in today, and in the end, we pass away without ever having really knowledgeable life. This quote works as a reminder to us to take time to enjoy today and to live life to the fullest. We must not be so focused on the future that we forget to value the present. We should take some time to delight in life and to appreciate the moments we have.
