We were born with a gift of life. We've got to rediscover it, he says. The tragedy is that you need... the tragedy is that all you need is just watch how untrue that assumption is. You know something? I once fell in love with somebody and then, well, I lost her. That was heartbroken. And what happened? I'm all right now. So she wasn't my happiness. Thank you. Family and friends, enemies and allies, the minimalist. Cheers.
