When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.

Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll know how to live.

This is how you start to get respect: by offering something that you have.

The best way to deal with that is to live in a fully conscious, compassionate, loving way. Don't wait until you're on your deathbed to recognize that this is the only way to live.

The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.

It's not to late to... ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.
