Dalai LamaGiven the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time.

Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them.
