I opened the book at random and found a story about Alexander | IntegratedThoughtsQuotes

I opened the book at random and found a story about Alexander the Great. It is said that the emperor received a beautiful glass vessel as a gift. He liked the gift very much, and yet he broke everything. -Why? Isn't it beautiful? - They asked him. "Exactly," he would reply. - They're so beautiful, it would be hard for me to lose them. And in time, one by one, it would break, and I would regret it more than I do now.
