Life is about consequences. Every action we take has some sort of consequence: "the effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier" (Dictionary.com, 2010). Some are positive, some are negative, others good or bad. However, living in fear of consequence is a silly approach to life. This falls in line with the fact of impermanence; nothing is every fully permanent or enduring, but rather is transitory (Dictionary.com, 2010). So in effect, impermanence is the result of consequence. Thus, one should learn to accept that their actions will ultimately result in a follow up reaction, and that this consequence may lead to impermanence in a given situation, or rather will result as such.
My life has taught me vast lessons about these two things recently and I have finally begun to realize that while some of the consequences I've endured as of late seemed negative or bad, effectually they have been some of the greatest blessings I could ever have stumbled upon. I have been given the chance to recognize that what is now missing is not lost from this life, but rather, these aspects have served their final purpose, leading me to an array of new choices, new beginnings. Fortunate are those that can see the wonderful world surrounding them, regardless of size or activity, for the quality that really exists in each moment.
