I have observed something in human beings that saddens me. Most everyone, from the richest to the poorest, regularly grades themselves and the state their lives are in. What I am describing is that about every 10 minutes, or at different points in conversations, people feel that what happened at that particular moment means they're a failure or a success. The problem with this type of mind process is that it bestows way too much power to the concept of PERMANENCE.
The way I view life, there is no such thing as permanence. Our brains go to so many different places within the course of a day. We respond to what we take in through our senses. We have memories that float around in our minds, we react to the people we meet. we react to what we plan to do. And so, the mind experiences different things all day long! Most of what we is transient. Why give ourselves a grade for something that will soon change? We are unfair to ourselves when we do this.
