Transience: Wandering Thought #42

Since this physical life is already so transient, why overly pursue that which is equally materially transient? Why not seek to realise that which is of lasting value, that endures throughout the rest of this life, and even beyond, for oneself and others? This is the rationale for living a spiritual life, why we practise to perfect our compassion and wisdom for one and all. It is the path to True Happiness, because it is what we really want for one another.
