The text is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centers of culture.

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.

译文：在平淡中交往的朋友，往往能长久维持；在平静安稳的环境生活，往往会延年益寿。赏析：君子之交淡如水。真正的朋友是看重对方的人品才交往的。清净养生，喧嚣伤身。安静的生活环境，平和的处事心态，方能益寿延年。
