&quot;Because people remain ignorant of the fact that their life is infinitely precious and at one with the eternal universe, they live indifferent to the dignity of other people&#039;s lives.&quot;<br /> -Daisaku Ikeda

Mourning
Hurts

Running
Burns

Mourning
Lasts

Running
Is an opportunity

Mourning
Stops you

Running
Goes on

Mourning
Makes you stronger

Running
Builds muscles

Mourning
Pounds on your heart

Running
Pounds the pavement

Mourning
Will always be with you

Running
Always goes along with you

Running
Is
Mourning
