Transitory

Nothing last forever. Nothing ever stays the same and the only constant in this world is Change itself. The things we like today turns boring the next day. This kind of constant need for change is kind of worrying. We spout out brave declarations of true love, complete dedication, total devotion and loyalty. In truth, after sometime of unwavering loyalty, an annoying thought creeps up silently and makes us wonder if we truly want it.

Think about it. Has anything ever stayed the same? (save for monuments and trees,etc.. even they erode over time) It is obvious that nothing ever stays the same and it is cruelly funny to see how people give an arm and a leg to try and make their choices permanent, only to throw it all away sooner or later. I am not blaming our fickle state of mind. It's basic human nature. 

Ever cried your lungs out to buy a toy as a kid, and then throw it in a corner after playing with for a couple of weeks? Ever wanted something so badly, went lengths to buy it and then that prized possession lost its appeal? You know what I am talking about right? It actually goes deeper than just superficial articles. 

The sooner we understand that nothing lasts forever, the better. A well wisher once told me that as life moves on, priority changes. My brain refused to accept it initially and after reluctant deliberation, I realized that there was nothing that I could do about it. Nothing is permanent, nothing is fixed. That was how the universe has evolved so far and will continue to do so. 

A beautiful quote from Bhagavad Gita says, “Meet this transient world with neither grasping nor fear, trust the unfolding of life, and you will attain true serenity.”
