Each of us everyday should ask our selves that 'how many people do I serve (help) today? '

Love is not a strange thing.

explanation:

I have times to buy what I want. I understand the rich world (some).

Richness is much much worse than to be poor.
Money lose its meaning. in together everything lose its meaning. a terrible kind of suffering. plus you begin to see the poor like a dirt or something.

this was a drop of experience. you don't want to be rich.

If you believe something that makes you a potential killer. at some point you have something to defend.
in this manner freedom of mind is the most innocent.

It is a challenge to make good sense of your post. I have suggested in a previous moderator-deleted post that this may be due to mental health issues which you have brought up, such as your problematic relationship with your family, especially your father, and your self-described diagnosis.
The specific reason I am replying to your post is your defense or rationale for someone to be a potential killer. I do not believe there is any innocent freedom of mind in this case, as you aver. I also find this to be both dangerous and disturbing, and hope you will find solace in therapeutic consultation with a professional.

The Udana has:-

Let go what is behind, let go what is before, let go the middle and get beyond becoming.

You can actually get a notebook via Amazon to jot down any words....

There is also this from Chuang Tzu (as translated by Thomas Meton in "The Way of Chuang Tzu"):-

The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

It's been a long day.....
