This video left me thinking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?=247&v=e9dZQelULDkWhy we care so much about getting the things we want if in a blink of the eye we just desire something else? Is this the human nature or is this an impulse created by the world we are living now, exactly the same that happens with flying insects at night who keep going around our lightbulbs until they burn?
I don't want to sound dramatic though, just sharing something interesting.
What are ephemeral things in life?
Life is a complex mixture of ephemeral and interminable things, and one needs to identify them clearly in order to have a happy life.
People : Very rare people exist in one’s life for long time, others are just temporary. For example, colleagues, travel buddies etc.
Orgasm : Indeed, this has the shortest life span. Though a human has more than enough chances.
Trust : One wrong move and it gets shattered forever!.
Crushes : Most crushes a person gets in his/her lifetime, are short lived. If it exceeds more than 4 months, it is love already.
Happiness : It is also an ephemeral entity, it can completely vanish with one wrong incident.
Sorrow/ Sadness : Similar to happiness, it is also short-lived. Be happy.
What is ephemeral and what’s not, just depends on our attitude towards life. If we are optimist, they the happiness will not end so soon and vice-versa.
Thank you.
