Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it

Your task is to stand straight; not to be held straight.

You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.

No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.

To no man make yourself a boon companion: Your joy will be less but less will be your grief

Why should anyone be afraid of change? What can take place without it? What can be more pleasing or more suitable to universal nature? Can you take your bath without the firewood undergoing a change? Can you eat without the food undergoing a change? And can anything useful be done without change? Don't you see that for you to change is just the same, and is equally necessary for universal nature?
