Impermanence can be a real *****!

[Geoff-Allen]

"This too shall pass" makes me happy about some things and sad about other things because everything in creation is transitory.

Welcome to "reality"!

This really is as good as it gets

You are change. Embrace your nature. Easy, breezy, lemon squeezy.

Impermanence ain't got nuttin' on you.

Thanks! I needed that!

 

[Geoff-Allen]

I wasn't making fun of you, just elaborating, maybe.

I wasn't at all offended believe me - it's perfectly okay to say whatever you feel. I don't mind - I try to maintain a good sense of humour even about impermanence!

Well, your example is very mild.

When you become elderly, this really may become a serious problem without any visible solution.
All of a sudden, your resources may become marginalized, your spouse seriously ill so as to be unable to carry the load but instead becomes part of the burden that needs a solution. You go from having a life to living in an open prison where there is no escape from the situation going to hell in a hand-basket.

As long as your problems of impermanence are questions on a website, count yourself blessed. Eventually, many of us come to a time none would want to experience.

Fair enough!

Some people really do have it far worse than me - I really try to be grateful!

That gave me a chuckle. But you're pretty much right on the the money on how a lot of people feel about it.

The way I have it figured is even though impermanence is a contention, things have a way of cycling back around from time to time.

If you can manage to chuckle at impermanence yo must be truly wise
