When we start to understand the nature of impermanence, our tendency to cling to outcomes and expectations will begin to diminish. That doesn’t mean it’s suddenly easy to lose a job or a loved one. It just means that the suffering of loss will go more smoothly when we learn to see things as they really are: that loss is a natural part of the course of life, rather than something we need to fight against. When we understand that all things are impermanent, we can begin to find meaning and joy in every moment as it passes.
