We need to learn to appreciate the value of impermanence.
If we are aware of impermanence, we will take good care of ourselves.
When we know that the person we love is impermanent, we will cherish our beloved all the more.
Impermanence teaches us to respect & value every moment & all the precious things around us and inside of us.
When we practice mindfulness of impermanence, we become fresher & more loving.
Thich Nhat Hanh

A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.

We desire life to be in a certain way, and it's often impossible. Zen can help us learn how to respond to things that happen instead of questioning why me, why now, and similar.
