Life and death are the same...Leave karma to karma.

How beautiful life is and how sad! How fleeting, with no past and no future, only a limitless now.

Love is a Christian word, Anjin-san. Love is a Christian thought, a Christian ideal. We have no word for 'love' as I understand you to mean it. Duty, loyalty, honor, respect, desire, those words and thoughts are what we have, all that we need.

The scarcity of years does not necessitate lack of wisdom.

Isn't man but a blossom taken by wind, and only the mountains and the sea and the stars and this land of the gods everlasting?

Life and death are the same...Leave karma to karma.

.., by universal custom, your enemy is never more polite than when he is planning or has planned your destruction.
