A Reflection on Life's Transience and the Importance of Living in the Moment

Human life is a process,

One more famous entrance: There is no eternal life, no eternal youth.

Indeed, there’s nothing to which one could be ‘attached’ to.

In a hundred years time, there will be no one as ‘you or ‘me’.

Devour every living moment with anxiety all your life, and you cannot even uproot a plant, let alone a tree.

They stifle us all our lives and leave behind no hint of arrogance and admiration.

Life is so short,

It goes like this – we don’t even have time to argue, we don’t even have time to be sad.

The only concern that we never get a chance to think about is always things.

All we have time for is to love and enjoy things.

Remember this passage:

Gaining wealth is only a joke, the real winning is, surviving.

Happiness therefore is the purpose of existence and health is the end of existence.
