Ghandi (and translation)

Some of my friends and relatives are using a Ghandi quote as their e-mail signature.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Sounds nice doesn’t it? Until you think about it. To me this translates as

Don’t plan for the day after tomorrow, and don’t be in any hurry to learn anything.

I hate that quote. It reminds me of everything I dislike about Taoism and Buddhism. I can’t respect their teachings that promote stupidity.
