Temporary

 

From the moment we are born, we know the meaning of temporary.

The unconditional love and the nurturing touch we first feel, only lasts the existence of the ones who give it to us.

The gift of innocence we are endowed with as children slowly seeps away through the cracks of the foundation of reality.

The safety and ritual of the walls of education only provide a brief shelter from what is yet to come.

The bonds one develops through life seem to fade through the years like a portrait faded by the sun.

The love that one may feel from the heart of another is like a flame burning bright but then ceases to do so when the air in their lungs can no longer fan the flame.

We are taught from the beginning that there is no such thing as forever, only a long time.

We are surrounded by purposeless events and ill-conceived notions that somehow they matter.

We are blinded by a vitality of the soul which is merely a side effect of a drug known as ignorance.

Temporary is the only permanent constant we have.
