– “What’s most important in life?”
– “There’s no such thing in life.”
– “How can it not be?”
– “Do we need water?”
– “Of course. It keeps us alive.”
– “Can we survive only on water?”
– “No.”
– “Same goes with love, money, knowledge.
We need all of that.
But none of it is complete sustenance.
Lovers provide satisfaction;
but only harsh realities encourage growth.
Money cancels those harsh realities;
but it can’t fulfill minds starving of love.
Knowledge helps us know how to live;
yet it’s useless without means to apply it.”
– “Then what’s least important in life?”
– “There’s no such thing in life.”
– “Why not?”
– “A little wound left unattended in childhood
may lead to gangrene and amputation soon.
But a little drop of medicine offered by
a humble tribesman heals it quick;
a simple help that incepts a sense of caring
that lets us avoid major crises in life later.
Such a wound can’t be ignored;
nor can be the tribesman’s knowledge.
Everything and everyone has applicability.
With its limits.
Significances alter as per times and situations.
A wise person neither over-rates nor under-rates
anything or anyone. Wisdom is in
acceptance of reality absent judgment;
absorption of learning present in it;
and moving on.”
