What's with the Title?

There were two times in my life that I have come across this saying and both times made an impression on me for different reasons each time: One, while on a Greek island, I have noticed a Terracotta plaque hanging over a typical Cyclades village house. There was a popular art paining of a Greek fishing boat sailing with the title inscription underneath. The other time was some 35 years later in Bombay (Mumbai) India while attending a Philosophy lecture.( More about this later). For the moment let me say that in both cases had to do with the fact that people are "concerned". In the first instance it reminded the visitor of the basically care-free Greek character who is not seriously "concerned" and effected by life's experiences. Here the emphasis was to ease the so called bad or unpleasant experiences. In the second instance the emphasis was on both the unpleasant but also the pleasant experiences. Even more so, the underlying knowledge that this is a transitional phenomenal experience. The fact though remains that as each letter of this blog is typed...it is passed so is everything else. Does this sound gloomy? It should not, quite the contrary if put into the right context, something that I will attempt in future blogs. For the moment think of the following:
- If things go wrong, if you are gloomy and unhapy, if you are frustrated and angry, if jealousy is eating you, if your fingernails are getting shorter in agony etc etc etc: " This too, shall pass!
- If things are right on, could't be better all your wishes are coming true... well what do you say? Shall I spoil this nice situation by getting depressed over the fact that it will end? By no means NO! Uusually we amplify the unhappiness and misery while we forget quickly the happy moments.
As all pass, where do they pass from? Who is the steady reference experiencing this movement?
