Ponder Over This

Here’s a question that was posed to the Dalai Lama:
.
“What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”
.
His answer was as follows:
.
“Man”
.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
.
Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health and then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn’t enjoy the present, and as a result he doesn’t live in the present or the future
.
And he lives as if he’s never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived
