Everything Dies


Why, being myself subject to birth, do I seek what is also subject to birth? Why, being myself subject to aging, sickness, death, sorrow and defilement, do I seek what is also subject to aging, sickness, death, sorrow and defilement?

Ariyapariyesana Sutta


Everything dies.

Anything you see, touch, taste, think or feel will die. It does not extend infinitely into the future; it does not extend infinitely into the past.

Everything you love will die.

Life is suffering.

The instant you perceive something, let it go. Into joy.
