RO-CHI

Our life is made up of time; our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years. We grab a few quick minutes in our busy day to have a coffee break. We rush back to our desks, we watch the clock, we live by appointments. And yet your time eventually runs out and you wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent the best way they possibly could. In other words, if you could change anything, would you?

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do it to ourselves.

Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.

Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hang on too long.

Love each other or perish.

Dying is only one thing to be sad over, Mitch. Living unhappily is something else.

Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what change us, if we let them.
