Impermanence
The week is far from perfect. In fact this is the first time that I've encountered such an emotional struggle since October that has actually caused me to freak out. It's obviously not a good feeling, freaking out. Lonely, scary, panicky. Totally out of this world when juxtaposed with security, happiness and satisfaction.However, after last night it finally hit me again. Somehow along the way I lost what I had learnt. The importance of impermanence. While some things may be permanent, most aren't. Sadness, relationships, friendships, people, pets, food, happiness, someday they all fade to black. While hope can be a good thing when viewed against the future, in retrospect it is a dangerous tool. Hoping for things to remain permanent when they've obviously subsided just hinders our progress towards other experiences, be they good or bad. It doesn't really matter. Experiences will ultimately show us whether we made the right choice or not. We just have to learn to move on from there. Even dwelling on a good experience hinders progress.
Our lives are just like frames in a spool of film. Little moments captured, little moments played out, little moments fade out. The choice that we make is just a little moment captured that alters the state and outcomes of the moments to come. But take note, for these future moments will eventually still pass, and all we have left is to look toward the future again.
When I compare myself to Le Pooch, I feel sorry for him. His life is just a spool of film replayed at the beginning of each day. At first glance it might seem that he's got the best deal, since he has no worries at all. However, he has no prerogative to make choices as well. I have the upperhand, and it's best that I make use of it, no matter what others say, come what may.
Till next time, goodbye world.
