Permanent Ink is God

"Nothing is permanent. (Except permanent ink.)"
All that is eventually ends. (Yes, even the nagging of your significant other will eventually come to an end.) Buddhists say, "Only that which is unchanging and permanent is real. All the rest is merely an illusion." So, according to marketers, the only thing that lasts forever is permanent ink. (Advertisers wouldn't lie would they?) The Chemical Buddha awakened to this theory after a long night of sniffing markers. And from that moment forward, he started writing everything in permanent ink. Or, as he called it, "God."
Knowing that nothing lasts forever, how might you live differently?
How does trying to keep things from changing create difficulty in your life?
