What i feel is that a change is not permanent …. it will keep happening according to your situations problems or people and your relationships …it happens at some point of time in everyone’s life. Change is nature it is for good … it will keep occuring in many situations and we have to deal with it .Depends on you how you are welcoming it … i would advice you to not get afraid of the change but let it come and grow with it have patience.. you need to have patience as it is not a very comfortable process at some point you will not understand what to do just be kind and do whatever is required and is right to be done and you will surely fly out happily.

An entity might live eternally forever, but a human being is not an entity. Humans and all other living creatures end, memories and experiences conclude. There is nothing perpetual in all of nature and the universe, everything ends and something new comes out in its place. The religious heaven, hell or karma is an illusion coming from our thinking process which is past experiences and memories. That which continues from yesterday, is only in our memory. Furthermore, life on earth is a struggle where pain and suffering are a big part of the struggle. We die ugly, due to old age, wars, accidents, violence or diseases is by itself gross. If we in our current state do not end, then this struggle continues to eternity which do not make any sense. In my opinion only that which has an ending can be aware of the new. Leaves shed in the fall and new leaves arrive in spring. These new leaves are not part of the old that died, it has its own life.

I'm glad someone asked this.

Nearly all emotions are temporary, because they are mere responses to the external or internal stimulus we encounter through the course of life. If we take into consideration the external atmosphere, it's all about actions. Internally, everything starts with a thought.

Suppose someone criticizes you, a thought emerges in your mind - does it matter? Your answer determines whether you're peaceful, or hurt, or agressive. These all come under temporary emotions. They take over our responses for merely a moment, minute, even days at end.

Asian cultures, specially the Vedic way of life advocates a negative response to the question of does it matter. This teaches the Yogis and sages not to respond with aggression, hatred, despise, etc. They talk about a permanent emotion, which is compassion.

Now if you look at it, compassion springs from Love. And this, you'd agree, is a permanent emotion. When a child is born out of mother's womb, it unconsciously demands care. The presence of care results in love, the absence results in fear and apprehension, and an infant begins to cry. From the very start of our human journey we love people, and then, till the very end. On the deathbed, it is the loved ones that remain in the mind of the person breathing his last.

So, there's this permanent emotion, which is why this is so powerful. So much so one can change people entirely with a loving response to something meant to disturb our peace of mind.

Hope I addressed your question well. :)

Peace!

Temporary means not lasting indefinitely as the temporary exists not permanently.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems [long lasting] like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a [temporary] minute. - Albert Einstein

Situations can effect us in a permanent manner or merely temporarily.

One who knows death is imminent in sickness or facing a firing squad there abides a state of suffering which is temporary in light of acknowledging one’s demise will be permanent.

An inconvenience, causes frustration for a rather short period of time at airports until the temporariness ends it’s lasting time period. Then the temporariness of life continues in forms of enjoyment through conversations, with eating, or even sightseeing and the like.

However long life endures we can think of life’s temporary nature in light of this human experience knowing of our own rendezvous with death as permanence represents.

The temporary: “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in the Spring.”

The permanent: “I’m sorry you are leaving knowing we shall never meet again.”

The patience or tolerance considering people’s behaviors run differently. One is short tempered concerning actions considered as inappropriate behaviors. Others are patient and long suffering toward the behaviors people keep.

Frustration is usually considered to be a temporary inconvenience and short lived. When frustration builds into anger the frustration becomes rather more permanently enduring.

An attitude is temporarily relied upon as one is wiling to change in making permanent corrections.

“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.”- Charlie Chaplin

To me the only thing constant in this world is change. Nothing lasts forever. Everybody has their own time of retirement. I am sure most of you would have heard the quote “the life of the world is nothing but a game”. And of course each game has an ending. So to simplify things- life is basically like a flowing river in which nothing stays.

Experience!

Anything related to water fascinates me. It can be swimming, just floating, getting drenched in that heavy rain, being in jacuzzi (who doesn’t like), watching that drizzle through the window with hot cup of coffee, water games....... If someone ask me where love to go for vacation, it’s definitely some water place.

I had been to Goa last year; all I have done is going to beach. When my friends party hard and slept. I have gone alone to beaches, standing there to watch sun set, the sun raise, the noon waves, water colour, the wind and that crazy people who love water.....

I did scuba diving. I dove off the boat and slowly sank into the sea. There is nothing like breathing underwater. The sound of my own breath underwater – it was hypnotising. Moving around plants and rocks under water, isn’t it amazing. It’s like a dream you do not want to wake up from; swimming with a shoal of bream, plants tickling your body with the smallest touch and the limitless vision of water all around you.

This was definitely temporary yet so permanent, I would never forget it.

The only thing permanent in this world is ourselves.

We all have the experience of permanence. In Bhagavad Gita Krishna explains how the self, contrary to the body and mind, is permanent.

A person's body goes through different stages - infancy, childhood, youth, old age and finally death. But during all these changes of the body and the mind, the self (the inner sense of I-feeling), or the inner observer remains constant. I am the same ‘me’ when I’m young as when I’m old. That's one way we can logically understand our own permanence.

The human life-form is unique in the sense that it allows the self to understand its own eternity. So the purpose of human life is to connect with the eternal self. If one is simply absorbed in the body and its demands, one is wasting this valuable opportunity - an opportunity that is only available in the human life-form. Eating, sleeping, mating and defending, the soul can do in any life-form, only in the human form can the self connect with eternity.

Krishna says:

As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change. (Bg 2.13)

I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible. (Bg. 7.25)

🫒🫒 Introduction…. In a world where everything seems fleeting, we often wonder what truly endures. The concept of impermanence is deeply rooted in various philosophies, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and existentialism. If everything is indeed temporary, then what lies beyond the transient nature of existence?

🫒🫒 Permanent aspects in various perspectives….

🫒 Philosophical…

☘️ Change itself…. The constant flux and impermanence of things is a permanent feature of life.

☘️ Universal principles…. Laws of physics and mathematical truths remain constant.

🫒. Spiritual and Religious….

☘️ The Self or Atman…. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and some Eastern traditions, the eternal Self or Atman is permanent.

☘️ Consciousness…. Some spiritual traditions view consciousness or awareness as the underlying reality.

🫒. Scientific….

☘️ Physical constants…. Fundamental constants like the speed of light and gravitational constant remain permanent.

☘️ Mathematical truths…. Concepts like pi or Euler's number are permanent.

🫒 Existential/Subjective….

☘️ Experience…. Our subjective experience, including emotions, thoughts, and perceptions, is always present.

☘️ The present moment…. The here-and-now is all we truly have.

🫒. Paradoxical considerations…

☘️ Impermanence is permanent… This paradox highlights language and thought complexities.

🫒🫒 Conclusion…. Ultimately, the concept of permanence is relative, context-dependent, and influenced by individual perspectives. While everything may be temporary in some sense, certain aspects can be considered permanent within specific frameworks.

For something to be real, does it have to be permanent?

This is my mom:

She was born in 1939 and is 78 years old.

She will die someday.

Yet, she is real.

No RAM is “permanent” in the sense that it is write once only. That is covered by Read Only Memory ROM. Earliest ROM chips required the data to be entred into them by applying a voltage to one of the terminals that caused internal fusible links to be burned that corresponded to the data to be stored. After this process nothing could be changed. But the stored data was permanent and could be retrieved once power was reapplied.

This early form of ROM was superseded by erasable, programmable ROM (EPROM) that added the ability to erase the stored data when exposed to UV light.

You dont hear much about ROM these days because of the advent of Static RAM (SRAM) that retained data even when powered down. Initially SRAM was slower to access than Dynamic RAM (DRAM) and limited in its read-write cycles.

This limitation was overcome by the development of SDRAM, now known as Flash Memory. and this is the technology used in USB pen drives and PC’s to store cache data and latterly as a replacement for Ferromagnetic Hard Drives (SSD)

All of these SDRAM variations comprise a family of memory types known as Non-Volatile RAM. (NVRAM). There are a number of different techniques used in NVRAM that are beyond the scope of this answer.

During all of this NVRAM development the basic Dynamic RAM (DRAM) development continued. Because Flash offered a cheap and functional NVRAM option, DRAM development concentrated on increasing memory capacity and access speed. DRAM is volatile and loses its data when power is removed.

I have read some article of ACHARYA PRASHANT which is a perfect description of the question you have asked.

Acharyaji says:

Actually the quoted statement is an impression that whatever comes, stays for a while, and then goes away.

The fact is a little different.

Whatever comes disappears that very moment.
It will not go; it is already gone.

There is nothing in this universe which is permanent even for a millisecond or for a nanosecond. So whatever comes, changes immediately. ‘A’ changes into ‘B’. Now where is ‘A’?

Gone.

We live in time, whatever we perceive—any object, event, or any relationship, the whole universe, whatever we perceive, we perceive it in time. And time means change. The moment you go from the zeroth second to the first second, something has changed. Had it not changed, you would not have been able to detect time or conceptualize time or give a meaning to time.

Time is just another name for change. So, whatever is in time, which means whatever is perceptible through the senses, whatever is worldly, whatever exists in the universe is in time. And time means change and change means disappearance.

So, whatever is, will not go away; it has already gone away.

“In the moment of its appearance it simultaneously disappear.”

Acharya Prashant’s book are available on both Amazon and Flipkart. I lovingly suggest you to read them for better clarity on various aspects of like.

Happy Reading!

Permanent and temporary can not exist without each other. We think that permanent and temporary are opposite words but they are not. In every permanent temporary exist and in every temporary permanent exist. Can you think of rest without motion and motion without rest? No. Origin and destruction continue infinitely. In this sentence if you look carefully both are included. World is permanent in the form origin and destruction, birth and death. It is paradoxical. More shocking truth is that because of this paradox it is as good as not existing. This question is very very deep and requires extensive reading. You have to go through Upanishads, sankhya philosophy, brhmasutra, Buddhist philosophy, physics, Quran to understand it.

"why is it so difficult to share pain?
to pick up the phone
to let feelings be heard
why doesn't pain whoosh out from the heart
the way happiness does?

why does it swallow you in?
and then keep you there
and then kill you softly
why doesn't it let you look beyond
the way happiness does?

why does pain curl in the soul?
like the crest of a lonely wave
like the submission of a slave
why doesn't it set you free
the way happiness does?

why doesn't it set you free?"

As many times as I have tried to correlate the effects of one emotion with another, I have only ever arrived at the conclusion that no two emotions are analogous. I wouldn't say that pain is a much stronger emotion than happiness. But pain is a teacher. It opens the eyes of the naive/ignorant, makes you stronger, adds substance to your character and most importantly teaches you to empathize. Pain has lasting effects. Happiness, on the other hand, is quite(obviously) the opposite of sadness. These are fleeting moments of joy that you unconsciously, unapologetic-ally and quite rightly parade. The key is to evaluate the reason behind these emotions, why they are expressed so differently and the impact on you as a person.

Fear.. the alien us, the enemy within. The Grandmaster Meme. what is the opposite of Fear?

Craving. Philia

Fear is an imitation of the sense of ‘Danger’. We can know this because ‘Danger’ is Absolute - it has no opposite. Creatures use this sense to trigger the brakes, so to speak. Do they actually experience ‘Fear’? Other than us ‘humanising’ their behaviour, it seems doubtful that they do. It is more fitting that Fear is defined as a human ‘emotion’.

It exists on a subjective scale, similar to happiness/sadness .. pain/pleasure.
For this spectrum, ‘Fear’ is at one end and at the other is ‘Craving’; the opposite of Fear.
Fear and Craving. We can know this more easily as Philia (an invisible attraction/compulsion) and Phobia (an invisible repulsion). Like two ends of a magnet.
As we move closer to each end the ability to logic our response

So, as to answer your question, the human ‘emotion’ Fear exists on a personal

Let's have a look what do we have in our “lives”.

• Living

1. Parents
2. Friends
3. Partner
4. Children
5. Pet

• Non-living

1. Books
2. Mobile phones
3. House
4. Car
5. Clothes.

This list made a point. NO TANGIBLE THING IS PERMANENT BE IT LIVING OR NON-LIVING.

SO, what is permanent then?

1. The manners and etiquettes your parents teach you.
2. All the wonderful memories you share with you friends
3. Love from your partner.
4. The respect with which your children will look at you.
5. Faithfulness from your pets
6. In all those non living things nothing much is permanent. But special mention to books. All the knowledge you gain from them, that is permanent for sure.

So I think I have made my point.

Thankyou. :)

There is no permanently, and especially no permanent you. You yourself come and go! Happy you in one moment, sad you in another. The more of one circumstance we have in our life, the more it shapes the others. A person who is depressed most of their life, but then gets over it in their later years, will not have the same situation as someone who learns to be happy most all the time in their late teens. So should we give up on trying to overcome depression!? I don’t think so!

Everything from the past influences the present. I think that’s just how it works.

May your life be peaceful, and full of joy!

🖐 🙂
