This world can offer you anything you fancy except permanence. Those who love you today, will grow out one day. No matter how stable and permanent anything may appear, it is going to wither away. Nothing here is designed to last. Forests burn, mountains move, rivers dry up, oceans retreat, glaciers melt, people die. However gigantic or miniscule, such as heat in fire or oil in olives, the inherent nature of all things perceivable is impermanent.
