Life is very precious. To live is to open ourselves to all possibilities, to rule out nothing. There is no way we can spare ourselves, or those we love, the pains of living, because they are inseparable from the joys. How unreal we are when we think we can save the world. First save yourself. All we can do is to live the best way we can, achieving a balance amid the forces that pull on us: pleasure, responsibility, power, greed, love. If we can live so that we respond to all of them, rule out none of them and yet enslave ourselves to none, We will have the best the world can give.
I have read lots of autobiography of great people and one quality all great and successful people seem to share is sense of humor....the capacity to see our struggles and triumphs with detachment. It is not easy but it is necessary if we want to keep balance in out lives.
