Our culture places too much emphasis on forever and tightly ties “forever” with “success.”
For example, you made a lot of money through currency speculation, but lost most of it due to wrong decisions or trading accidents. The society's evaluation of this is: the currency speculation failed.
If you like writing and have written several books. Then your interests changed and you stopped writing books. Society's evaluation of you is: a failed writer.
Society believes that a necessary condition for success is always.
Many good things come to an end, but that doesn't change the fact that "it was good". Of course we can be sad and mourn when these wonderful things end, but we cannot deny the beauty and success it once had. Listing "forever" as a necessary condition for beauty and success is not only unrealistic, it also does us no good.
If everything has to be labeled "forever" to be considered meaningful, all happiness will seem too heavy and burdensome.
I always feel tired because I am always worried that the happiness of the moment has a time limit, but every time I think about the vastness of the universe, I feel that my fear of time is very unnecessary and sentimental.
We have to recognize the value of a moment and not live with the goal of continuing it forever. Think about it carefully, is there anything in the universe that is not temporary? We can't take anything with us.
