Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.

The quote "Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer." is attributed to Shunryu Suzuki, a Japanese Zen master and the author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. In this reflection, Suzuki emphasizes the Buddhist concept of impermanence, or anicca, which suggests that all things are in constant flux. He highlights the suffering that arises from our resistance to change and the difficulty in accepting the transient nature of life, encouraging mindfulness and acceptance to attain peace and composure.
