the problem is that we don't care much of the consequences;we only think of the moment or sometimes no care. We don't know that small pints should be in contemplation. But, I hope that we'll start thinking of things in depth.

If you have never sat alone and asked yourself who you are and how you came into being, then take it for granted that you still don’t exist.
