The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present: The result being the does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and he dies having never really lived.”

• You have no time for a decent relationship - or - your work is jeopardising your love life?

• And so on....
