Impermanence and Acceptance

In other words, you cannot sustain success, and you also cannot sustain failure – there are no sustainable highs or lows. True strength is in memory, as well as in erasing; in forgiving, and in embracing the transience of things; in solitude, restraint; in submitting to impotence; in being imperfect; and in admitting one’s anguish, panic, guilt, and remorse.

Entities of the world are like chess, they are random. What we have to bear and learn, therefore, is its transient nature just as it is possible to learn acceptance of changes of seasons or changes of day and night. Desolation and frustration rise like wind and rain throughout the trip.

While it brings a sensation of coldness to the people, it also allows the people to develop the spirit of tolerance. This helplessness is like the black part of the night, if it starts suddenly. But still, it is confusing and gives birth to the new hope.

So in life, if you are endowed with the ability to think over something, then it is heaven for you, else if you lack the faculty to think over something, it is hell to you. That which you are fond of usually turns to a burden that punishes you; that which you are interested in usually turns to a chain that annoys you. Rather, if we let things happen naturally, even giant things will just be as fleeting as a moment.

The reason why you are experiencing pain is that you are surely persistent; the reason why you suffer from confusion is that you overemphasize gains/losses. They are actually saying what you lose is mulberry, and what you gain is mulberry. And the gains and of course the losses are just the round of reincarnations in life.

In human things, I try my utmost and submit to fate. Hopefully, I receive it; definitely, I will lose it. These are the rules of not expecting too much because it just sets you up for endless pain.
