Everything Changes

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.

(Shunryu Suzuki, Japanese Soto Zen Priest)

Because things change we as human beings go through a myriad of emotions. Once we are able to handle these emotions, we are better able to function in diverse situations.
