The impermanence of things

I've been thinking about this topic while driving back yesterday morning. Nothing can escape from this one single condition: impermanence. Lol sorry i know that sounded a lil depressing maybe, but when we really look at everything, its true.. And that is why we have to make the most out of every moment - cultivate goodness, do what we can to help others, even making a difference in another's life! =)

Let's look at it. Things come and go. A simple leaf, born from the branches of a tree, lives out its duration, turns brown and then falls to the ground. Then it is decomposed and its elements break up and return to the earth. The same applies to everything around us. When there is a cause for things to come into being, there is also a cause for things to return to the state before they come into being.

Change is inevitable. In objects, in the environment, and even sometimes in ourselves - our very own nature. But one thing we have to make sure is that the change is always headed in one direction, and that is for the better.. ;)
