"Sand castles will all be washed.

In a way they are already washed before you build them.

Like everything in life.

The problem with Nihilism - it properly identifies that nothing leads to nothing, then tries to remedy by pretending something is permanent for a while.

"Yes all sand castles will be washed, but invent your own"

The trap is in the "but"

Evasion.

It makes you sad? you still didn't understand.

What do you think is ending?

Where do you think you are, exactly?

It makes you sad that you can't grab it forever - you're missing the whole point.

"My legacy!, my relationships!"

It's all gone already. Which is why you keep holding them.

What do you think is ending?

This is your kinder-garten.

Your choices and actions are not supposed to ripple to infinity and have actual stakes - and that's the point.

You're here BECAUSE it's impermanent.

You're free - while dreaming of being trapped.

Impermanence is the GIFT.

You're FREE.

The power is NOW."
