*** They Asked A Rose ***
*********************************

They asked a rose two questions:

First one, "what are the most surprising acts of mankind in your opinion?

The rose started to make a list:
"they get bored of childhood and rush to grow up,
but then they yearn for their childhood again.
they risk their health to make money,
but then they spend money to regain their health.
In the midst of worrying about tomorrow,
they forget about today.
as a result, they live neither today nor tomorrow.
they live as if death will never come,
yet they die as if they've never lived."

The second question, "so what is your suggestion?"

The rose started to speak:
"don't work to make yourselves loved by anyone,
rather leave yourselves to be loved.
the most important thing in life is:
not to own everything,
but it is to need the least."
