Still, it might be of interest to know what others are…
““Still, it might be of interest to know what others are experiencing, and as the constant flux of all things is the Law—immutable and self-evident—you cannot expect your current blend of experiences to remain the same. They will change. And we should prefer change, for stasis—if it could even exist—is death. To speak of it colloquially, change is the spice of life—it is the spice of the universe, the spice of experience and the spice of magic. Sorrow, dread and despair all arise due to our lack of acceptance and appreciation of change. Whatever you cling to will be taken from you, but if you empty yourself and embrace change you can hold and bear all things.””
