It is the presence of death, not life, that brings out the best in us. Isn't that strange? i guess it is a warning that we should not -
fritter away the precious moments of life
let hurt and anger dictate the way we behave
diffuse our energies in trying to prove how right we are, and how wrong the rest of the world is
try to score debating points
allow any kind of disturbance to cause earthquakes and tsunamis in our minds
let any cloud come over the present moment
try to peer into the next moment let alone the future
