Attachment, noun: a feeling of love or a strong connection to someone or something. Impermanence, noun: the state of not lasting forever or not lasting for a long time.
Attachment and Impermanence. In essence, nothing is permanent. Think of it: what is permanent? You can try to search repeatedly; you will always get the same answer: nothing. Our parents aren’t going to be here forever. Our lovers, dogs, homes, cars, and even our Earth is not permanent. Everything has a beginning and an end. Why? Because it is what it is. Everything, every situation, every feeling, and every thought are temporary.
