"Ultimately, life is very short. Even if we live one hundred years more, that is still very short. We don't have time to hate anybody. We don't have time to judge anybody. So how are we going to spend the rest of our life from this moment on? This is a good question. 'How am I going to spend the rest of my life from this moment on?' We must realize that life is extremely short. It is like the snap of our fingers until the time we die. So we have to realize that ultimately there is nothing to gain and nothing to lose. Ultimately there are no enemies, there are no friends. There is not even any 'I.' From this moment on the only thing that matters is to live life from compassion, awareness, and wisdom."
