Nothing is permanent

Impermanence. A very simple definition of this word would be nothing is permanent. Everything changes with time and nothing remains as it is.

Bhudhists believe in the phenomenon of cause and effect. Bhudhist believe that every event in our life preceedes an event and follows another event.

This chain of event continues through out our life and keeps most of us busy.

Why do not we ponder more on the concept of impermanence and "let go of things". Why do we get stuck to a thought when things do not go our way. One thing goes against us and we go into the "auto negative mode" with series of negative emotions, one leading another.

Probably that is why Bhudhists believe that we need to cultivate positive emotions such as love and compassion and try to refrain from negative emotions such as anger, jealousy and hatred. Reflecting on impermanence helps in cultivating a reasoning to amplify positive emotions.

Well this is not just a one time post and there will be many more occasions where I will have to write around the same lines to pacify my turbulent mind as it is today.

Even small incidents such as the one today can disturb us so profoundly. Compassion and positive emotions are the key.
