Time to Die:
A Zen teacher had a rare and priceless teacup.
One day, his precocious student accidentally broke the cup.
Hearing the footsteps of his teacher,
the student held the pieces of the cup behind his back.
When the master appeared, he asked: "Why do people have to die?"
"This is natural," explained the teacher.
"Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
The student showed the shattered cup, saying,
"It was time for your cup to die."

to choose one's own way.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

certain set of attitudes.

love that has grown cold can kindle
