One student often suffered from prolonged depression.
“The doctor strongly advises me to start taking medication to cope with depression,” he said.
- Well, why don't you start? - the Master asked him.
“I’m afraid that this might damage my liver and shorten my life.”
- What do you prefer - a healthy liver or a joyful mood? One year of life is more valuable than twenty years of hibernation.
Later he addressed his students:
— Life is like a fairy tale: it doesn’t matter whether it’s long or short; what matters is whether she is good.
