About this Quote

This quote by Marcus Aurelius speaks to the concept of impermanence. Time is like a river, constantly streaming and bring away occasions and experiences. Absolutely nothing is permanent, and whatever is continuously changing. Nothing remains the same, and as soon as something is brought into sight, it is rapidly swept away by the current of time. This idea of impermanence can be seen in all aspects of life, from the real world to our own emotions and thoughts. We need to find out to accept that nothing is long-term and that modification is inevitable. We should find out to embrace today moment and value the charm of life, despite the fact that it is fleeting. We must discover to accept that whatever is temporary which absolutely nothing lasts forever.
