Transitory note

Its been really long since, I last wrote. There were a lot of things that I wanted to write but certain events simply took away the jest from writing. I kept making mental notes but somehow failed to put it down here or even when I managed to type a couple of lines I erased it, as if wiping the screen clean would wipe out those morose thoughts from my mind. In the last one month my life has changed a lot. I had to bid adieu to a lot of things. Still, there are many more 'goodbyes' in queue. 

Why everything leaves one and goes?
Why nothing stays with one forever?
Why nothing is permanent in life?

All of us have asked these questions several times. There is no novelty in these questions. We are familiar with the answers as well. Yet, we keep asking self these very same questions again and again as if earlier answers, never really answered those questions.
All the repeated reflections leads us to the same understanding that, 'Everything is transitory'. Its hard to accept this simple statement. And, we keep wishing that atleast, a few things in life were rock solid and lasted till infinity. Sadly, a rock too wears off so, 'rock solid' is also not so solid.

Our search for permanency in life continues and we question ourselves that if there is nothing that can face the test of time and live till eternity, then how and what can be defined as 'permanent'? Is there any thing that can pass the test of permanency? Or should the human mind learn to accept the fact or understanding that there is nothing in this world that is actually permanent; that, it is a mere illusion of time that we humans create to fool ourselves into a wishful living.
