Story: That Which Is Crooked About People

A disciple asked Hejasi:

– I want to know what is the most funny thing about human beings.

Hejasi said:

– That they always think crooked: they're in a hurry to grow, then lament their lost childhood.

And soon loose the money they need to keep their health.

They are so anxious about the future, that they neglect the present, and thus live in neither the present nor the future.

They live as if they were never going to die, and die as if they had never lived.
