Value of life
We can never measure the value of life by
wealth, but by honor that tells us what to do

SOLITARY FREEDOM
Life in solitude is better than friendship with the fool.
Let the one live alone, acting only right, freed from greed,
Like the Bull Elephant freely roam in all the forest.
Extract fr Bhikkhu Samahita
