In whatever society we live in, we need to be of benefit to it. We do this through our kindness, sacrifice, consideration and virtue.

Likewise, for most people, life never really gets anywhere; each day is spent lost in the world. Time, however, is different—it is always moving onwards and never returns. Those with intelligence will spend their time left in this life walking along the path that leads to heaven and Dhamma.
