3/3
Is nothing more impermanent than memory? Tryout this experiment: do something extremely memorable. This is the hard part. Many people live their lives without doing this. Not memorable for others, but just memorable for you. Then, don’t think about it for ten years. This will also be hard. Purposely not thinking about something is in its own way even more difficult than meditation. Now, once you’ve done so, try to remember it. Events will have changed, become more blurred yet also more vibrant. Now wait 20 years. 30 years. 40. Then, get Alzheimer’s. The experiment never ends. But as long as you remember this one event, this one action, this one thing, you’ve proved me wrong.
