Nothing lasts forever - I believe it's a positive fact
Few years ago, whenever hearing someone saying "nothing lasts forever", I thought there's nothing positive. There are some people who may have failure in love, they say "nothing lasts forever". This sentence even appeared in one of my most favorite songs: November rain of Guns and Roses - one of the saddest song. "Nothing lasts forever, and we both know heart can change".
And few years ago, I have wondered many times if there is anything existing in this world which lasts forever? If there is something like that existing, will all the negative feeling disappear?
Also few years ago, I accidentally read some Buddhist books. No, there's nothing accidental here, everything happens for a reason, but I think I will write about it later. Back to the Buddhist books, what did they give me?
In history, every dynasty must come to an end even existing in hundreds of years. In the past, the dinosaurs ruled the world, but now the human do. We had an era of jazz music, then rock music, then pop music, then hip-hop and RnB, and now may be an era of EDM or Kpop... I don't know.
I was born in Vietnam - the country which had been through such a very hard time of a 20-year war with America. Due to the war, Vietnam may not be as rich as other countries which create the wars or invade others countries through the wars. What we did in every way was only to protect our hometown to live in peace. Because we understand that war could not last forever.
Due to the Vietnam war, what Vietnamese people must do is to work hard to rebuild the country and to overcome the consequences of the war. War is over, Vietnam may still be the victim of fake news created by the reporters of such above countries. But we don't care. Time goes by, we keep on loving people in this world, people including American people who once gave death to people of our country. Because we understand that hatred cannot last forever.
Sometimes I compare my country with other countries.
Will the wealth of oil countries in the Middle East last forever? No, some of them have become the battleground of the war where the Americans were stationed while the people had no food, no clothes and always fled from bombs.

Will the economy of US be number one on this world forever? No, Barrack Obama stopped it. China is catching up with the US.
Will the belief of people in capitalism last forever? Let's think! Protests are taking place all over the US due to the racial discrimination. Some police beat people, killed people. US has become the country with the highest number of Covid-19 deaths in the world. What about Vietnam? They said that Vietnam - a socialist country wins the pandemic due to human rights violations. Because we are not a capitalist country, they believe that we have no human rights. However, the police of our country never want to bear the name of fighting against people. And our lives are peace now and we are happy now without the needs of democratic generosity of US foreign policy.
Now I think about every single person.
We cannot live without getting ill forever. There will be some times we get sick not only of physical health but also mental health. We cannot be happy all the time, sometimes we feel sad, nervous, scared, confused... We can easily do something but it does not mean that everything is always easy. Sometimes we get difficulties. In this life we have friendships, relationships, acquaintances... We must admit that all of them can not be with us forever. That's life.
My neighbor is a rich family. They have many many money. Their children are smart and cute. They love each other so much. They are also really kind to people around. I think that they are the happinest family ever. However, one day the husband must be through a surgery in hospital with so much money costs. The following days the wife got a chronic cough and it lasted for a month. Their son got a car accident. Their daughter came back to Vietnam after graduation from a foreign university but could not find a job in Vietnam because of the effect of pandemic. That's it, the perfect thing as I thought it could be could not last forever.
If you don't agree that nothing lasts forever, please tell what can last forever.
If we agree that nothing lasts forever, why must we be sad about it? Why don't we try considering it as a positive fact?

If we know that one day we will get sick, we should eat healthy and exercise hard and when we unfortunately get sick, there will be no regret because we have made ourselves good resistances.
If we know that one day we will have difficulties in some thing, I think it will be great if we consider them as the challenges to study and work hard from the start.
If we know that we cannot keep all the friendships, relationships or acquaintances forever, be good to them at every moment so that when they'll have gone, there will be no regret and the beautiful memories will remain.
If one day the force majeure come to us, to our country, to our planet, will our sadness be able to solve all the problems?
Why do I believe that "nothing lasts forever" is a positive fact? Because thanks to the end of something, I may recognize what have happened, the reason why it happened, what was right and wrong, what was the feeling, the experience or knowledge I got. Because knowing that something will come to an end, I can prepare for everything to be the best of me and will not regret for what may happen in the future.
People will die. No one can live forever. When they die, they can not bring all their assets to heaven with them. They left everything behind for the living people. Einstein has gone but his inventions are still remain for us, we study them and develop them. Tolkien has gone but the series Lord of the rings are still one of the greatest novels ever for us to read, to enjoy and to imagine. I'm sure that Einstein or Tolkien will not regret for what the leave behind for us.
I believe that's the reason why we should live every day studying hard, working hard, loving each other, helping each other, sending love to people, forgiving all sins, doing the beautiful things to this world. Do it every single day we live.
I'm sorry that my English may not be good. So there may be something which is hard to express and somehow will make you feel uncomfortable while reading. Please tell me your opinions. Thank you!
