Who can live
without losing something at one time or another?
Everything we have will one day be lost. Who
can go through life without getting sick with
this or that? It is a constant struggle to remain
healthy.
We feed
and clothe our bodies, house and transport them
conveniently and comfortably, but alas, they
are ungrateful and unreliable, and let us down.
To expect too much from life is to invite disappointment.
While
we should take care of what we’ve got,
we should also fortify ourselves with knowledge
and understanding of the nature of life: how
it changes, comes and goes; we cannot possess
it, and it is therefore, not really ours at
all. |
