Human existence, and all of phenomena, is transitory.  Nothing of relative nature exists forever and all of existence is continuously changing.  All that is built is destroyed, all that is accumulated is exhausted, all that is born will die and anyone or anything we meet with, at some point or another, we must finally depart from.

Many people forget that their precious lives are fragile and can be easily lost.  They are do not understand that death is the only event that can be guaranteed will follow birth.  One must reflect upon the impermanence of existence and firmly use one’s life to its fullest advantage.
