There is brilliant song by pink Floyd - "Time" . Quoting a line.... "You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing to come out behind you again. The sun is the same in the relative way but we're older shorter of breath one day closer to death!"
This brings home the point - past is history, future is mystery," now" is a gift that is why we call it " the present".
On a lighter note, sometimes with a heavy stomach gas and discomfort at night. I cope with it knowing - this will soon pass!
Assume for argument sake, one is championing the philosophy of ‘this too will pass’. He would be the last person on earth I would like to meet while experiencing some beautiful moments in life. The very thought of those moments being fleeting, will dilute the purity of my joy. Similarly, in moments of grief, there may be lessons to learn only such occasions can teach, if I were to philosophise to console myself that it too will pass !
Thank you for the lovely read!! A very similar adage in Hindi which says "Kal kare so aaj kar aur aaj kare so ab" again highlighting the fact of living and doing in the moment.
A thought goes out to all those who are disabled either by birth or during the course of life. While medicine has advanced vastly there are still many illnesses that don't have a cure. While they may not be able to say this too shall pass they do so by adapting beautifully to the circumstances, aka the boy in the FIFA world cup inauguration who only has a body up to the waist but possibly moves faster than anybody with his hands!!
Very powerful when we say this too shall pass... and so true. Nothing is permanent and change is inevitable. The experience stays and shapes our thoughts, attitute and actions. Life is all about making choices while in prosperity and in adversity which determines the course of life. How to make present amiable to make yesterday memorable and future beautiful!
You had me in splits!
