Sing about Karma.

Birds are singing. There's a cool breeze coming through the window. The sky's blue and the sun's shining. It's warm outside and the boys are tossing around a football on the quad. Someone in Shulze has a Music 5 exam and is blasting the classical music CD.

Dare I say it? Has spring arrived?

No.

This is all temporary. We'll probably be back to winter tomorrow.

Our world is constantly changing.

See, I've been studying Buddhism in my Intro to World Religions class and I find myself very fascinated by the logic and ideals that I've come to learn. You see, the ultimate goal for a Buddhist is Nirvana, liberation from the cycle of rebirth. One can achieve Nirvana only by the meditative realization that our existence is in a constant state of motion, of change.

I completely agree. BUT, I don't think that our minds are capable of seeing this continuous change. Our human mind perceives stability. We see something that's constant. And who is to say that stability isn't good? Western psychology preaches the need for stability.

I think we were created like this for a reason. If we always live in change, when do we ever get the chance to appreciate what we have in the moment?

I know it'll probably rain tomorrow, but I can still appreciate the sunshine today!

My ramblings don't make sense. Not even to me. :P Only someone like me would contradict ancient Buddhist ideals. There goes my Karma.
