Do not Stress


 

I do not understand how some people can do it: work until their eyes bleed, study until their fingers ache, and stay up all night like a nocturnal beast.

I do not understand how stress and anxiety is increased over a simple letter on a piece of paper.

I do not understand.

 

I do understand it is necessary to learn your basic nature

I do understand that education is important for our future.

I do understand that education is an amazing blessing, but it should not be a burden upon our lives.

I do understand that we are human. We were not born to create babies made out of metal; we were born to bring new life made of love.
