Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.

-Paulo Coelho "Paulo Coelho"
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;

from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
