26 Life Life is about the ups and downs, the being born and dying. Why we need a mother s comfort not just when we are young, but when we grow up too. Why we need someone to love and be loved back. How life can be so good one day and so bad the next. How life is so precious, so live each day like it s your last. What drives us? Why do we work so much and buy so much that we have no time left for anything else? Why don t we just relax and enjoy life as it is, instead of always trying to add to what we have? We don t run stress, stress runs us. And, it runs us down hard. Life is good, so treasure it. Do what makes you happy. --Max Dobner
