“That which is unchanging is also undying. Sorta like a Twinkie.”
All that is ends. The planets, the stars, the galaxies, the universe. Hell, even parallel universes probably end if they’re really out there. The Buddhists believe the only thing that is real is that which is unchanging. And if it is unchanging it is also undying. The Chemical Buddha had a Twinkie for almost 20 years. Well, he found it with a card from his 4th birthday (his parents were so thoughtful and always gave the best gifts) after it had been buried in his closet for 20 years. Because, if he had seen it, he probably would have eaten it. The thing he noticed though, was his Twinkie looked exactly the same as the ones he’d just bought. So he concluded, Twinkie’s were truly eternal and would out last us all. And the thought of a cream filled ever after, made The Chemical Buddha very happy.
What do you want to last forever? Do you appreciate it because it won’t last forever or dismiss it?
What can you do to celebrate the passing of time and your own time here?
