We have a sense that we should be like the mythical cowboy... able to take on and conquer anything and live in the world without the need for other people.

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

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.

It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.

We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility.

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things.
