RE: REFLECTION TIME: THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF LIFE

in Olio di Balena • 2 days ago

I wonder if one of the reasons I found myself attracted to living in East Asia is the appreciation for such things. In Japan it’s basically thought that it’s the transience that gives life its beauty. If everything was permanent we couldn’t miss anyone and we couldn’t look forward to anything.

So when a relationship fades or a person leaves it’s easier to focus on the time we had together and appreciate it for what it is.

This is why cherry blossom season is so popular here. The trees are bright pink but only for a few days

        Well, I'd agree with you that it is the transience that gives life its beauty. Nevertheless, as a person that phase of transition is somewhat difficult to come to terms with even though we don't always have control over it.

        So when a relationship fades or a person leaves it’s easier to focus on the time we had together and appreciate it for what it is.

        It is exactly the thought of those memories that makes some of us (sometimes) feel like we can bring back those memories to reality. Unfortunately, we don't always get our wishes.

        Cherry Blossom season - I just came across this for the first time and I have looked it up online. I learnt it symbolises life and death, beauty and violence. And the season spans between late March and early April. I will read more about it.
