Conditions exist through change. You canĂt prevent it. Just think, could you exhale without inhaling? Would it feel good? Or could you just inhale? We want things to be permanent, but that canĂt be. ItĂs impossible.
If you know that all things are impermanent, all your thinking will gradually unwind and you wonĂt need to think too much. Whenever anything arises, all you need to say is ìOh, another one!Ă® Just that!

Unruly beings are as unlimited as space
They cannot possibly all be overcome,
But if I overcome thoughts of anger alone
This will be equivalent to vanquishing all foes.
Where would I possibly find enough leather
With which to cover the surface of the earth?
But (wearing) leather just on the soles of my shoes
Is equivalent to covering the earth with it.
Likewise it is not possible for me
To restrain the external course of things;
But should I restrain this mind of mine
What would be the need to restrain all else?

I would like to say that the small cut is a result from last night's fight club, but we all knows that it does not exist, wink wink. I actually had a minor accident two days ago while trying to dismantle a cloak hangar. I almost poke my eye out, as you can see, it was a near miss. If I had taken my eye out, this blog would have to be changed to " Life as seen by the One Eye Man"... haha.. though it may be funny, it does put some chills in my bones to think how close I have come... to loose an eye...
