Is there an art of life – an art of living?
Life is indifferent – like a river, it rushes to sea, carrying with it all that stood in its way. The wise thing for us to do would be to go with the flow of life. If we resist, or if we refuse to go with the flow, we will be swept this way and that, and that can’t be very nice.
Nothing in life is constant, nothing is permanent. All things come to pass. Bearing this in mind, we have to learn when to let go, when to hold on. We have to constantly change, adjust, and adapt throughout our lives. What we cannot change, we have accept and bear.
Wherever life takes you, make the most of it, and you will get the most out of life. That is the art of life – the art of living.
