“If things were not impermanent,growth would not be possible,and manifestation would be impossible. If things were not impermanent, you could not have children, and your children would never grow up. When you sow corn seeds, they would never be able to grow. They would remain corn seeds forever. A river is in a constant process of transformation and so are we. So do not be afraid of impermanence.”- Tich nacht hanh
Also this morning I read about how like happiness is right now not when u finish college or work or buy a house or whatever and that actually “ the man who has cows to worry about is more unhappy then the one who has none at all”
“The concept of death is that being turns into nonbeing.that is impossible. Can somebody become nobody?no. If we burn the piece of paper, we cannot reduce it to nothing.the paper will turn into heat,which will go out into the cosmos, and turn into smoke,which will join the clouds in the sky.Tomorrow a drop of rain will fall on your forehead,and you will make a new contact with the piece of paper.the ashes produced by the burning will rejoin the earth,and one day they will manifest as daisies.do you have enough mindfulness to recognize the piece of paper in those daisies?” -Tich nacht hanh
