Mono no Aware
(Part 2)
A year has turned over since my earlier ruminations; finally having the heart to confront its apparent conclusion. Rather than be entrenched in limbo amidst a battle of my developed stubbornness against my learnt remoulding that has been keeping me from, and at the same time, invoking myself to force myself to embrace it and be one with it, I decided to foot a step back in order to walk at pace with it instead.
Impermanence is the revolution of our world against its axis; a destined destination that could be barely deliberately driven away from, regardless of our experiences, our feelings, and our perspectives about everything. Nature will seep into everything, if not most things, gnawing away to reclaim itself no matter our contest against it. We may or may not come to terms with its being, but it will continue to carry over nevertheless.
But, why is it that I am unsettled about its reality?
I realised that the adversary all along has been our arduously cultivated passions or our simple lingering attachments to our chosen respective objects or ourselves…
Therefore, I understood that to counter it, I have to learn to undress myself of those thoughts and feelings themselves for our chosen respective objects or ourselves once their or our time has finally been let up. Surrendering; accepting losing and accepting loss. After all, life itself is just a borrowed past time— A lonesome journey of emptiness and nonesenseness, unrewarded.
