The more we deny the possibility of death, the more it will scare us. Think about death as a certainty, and start seizing every moment as our last.
——
Every moment should not be approached with a motive of gaining something out of it. When we enjoy something, we should just stop and relish that moment.
——
When you see a beautiful building you admire its creator, but when you see a ruined building do you admire its destroyer? Legacy comes from what you create, not from what you destroy.
——
The day we start thinking that we are perfect and cannot do anything wrong is the day we move away from reality to delusion.
