It's not Shaolin. It is common understanding. We don't know if we wake up tomorrow. It is like this. But our plans go. We have five years plans, ten years plans. We have short-term, mid-term plans. The truth is we don't know if we wake up tomorrow. So, of course, I don't want to make it sound negative, so just live in the present moment without planning. This is not what I'm saying.

So the truth is, the fact right now is, regardless of science, no science, how our evolution developed, right now we are here. Your body, my body, we are here. This is what we are having right now. At the same time, in the way of how this lifestyle at the moment is, we won't have more than 50 more years to go in that body. So very simple, without believing, without any religious aspect.
