THE VALUE OF THE TRANSIENT

We build our lives on a daily basis, and in this we are joining one issue to another, transience is the predominant tone. Movement implies change, and therefore it is a transitory episode.                                  Transitory is synonymous with provisional, and driven by eternal precepts that set the guidelines for behavior, the scenario where their expression occurs is fluctuating, Just as duality is linked to unity, the transitory does so with the eternal.                                                                                                                  The parts are part of the whole. The past is the basis of the present, what we have learned, the experiences. Everything has been a collection of transient episodes that make up the unity of what we are now. And the future is built in a continuous present by the references acquired in the past. The fractions seem to be disconnected from each other, but they are links from the previous to the subsequent in the search for a unity. The value of the transient is how we profitably capitalize on the diversity of daily sequences and occupations so that efforts have meaning and purpose. At the end of the day we should review what we have done to see what proportion has been productive and what has been wasted. Most people want to live many years, but is not a question of more insubstantial amount of time, but of transformative quality between what we were in a past and we are today, developing talents, with the desire to polish the precise, continuously improving expressions.                                                                                                              In the transient is where the plot is built. Opportunities, dilemmas arise, we experience pleasant and unpleasant sensations, highs and lows. Relationships, activities that begin and end, tastes that change. And in this variety we must adopt the best disposition, attentive to events because the choices and triggers can be highly favorable or detrimental. 

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE MOMENTS ?

Everything is moments, some are experienced fleetingly and others the sensation is prolonged. We are joining the previous to the next, we can not retain the words or the actions. Photography or recordings can leave a record of specific moments that have been instants. Of what is happening, some memories remain, the rest is part of oblivion. It is a relentless march forward, we routinely repeat a series of activities, and never reproduce any day identical to the previous ones.                                                                              We are not aware of the great variety of different moments experienced daily. Comings and goings, beginnings, endings, dynamism or rest. The rhythm of life does not allow for contemplative pauses, at most we can reserve a parenthesis in the midst of the predominant mobility.                                             All stages, cycles, studies, work, relationships, occupations, have begun with an instant and the entire process has been a successive compendium of moments. From the origin to the end, from the seed to the fruit, with short or long processes, they are always accompanied  by moments. The instant is the part of the whole, and the whole is possible due to the multitude of previous moments.                                        We are immersed in dual contexts. We act on the knowledge acquired in the past in the present to extend it into the considered future in the now. We make a plan of action that must be developed in each new day, but we do not know if it can be executed in its entirety or partially, if obstacles will arise, because the constant tonic is to face the unknown with the known.                                                                                We start the day with the counter at zero, with a blank sheet to fill in. Planning can be largely foreseen, but it will depend on events, on what is not controlled by us that will force us to be flexible by experiencing new moments that are always surprising, because from the second before to the next everything can change radically.                                                                                                                                          What do moments teach us ? That each moment is unique, similar but unrepeatable, and that we must pay maximum attention to all movements and details because the results that will condition the issues valued by us such as health, economy or relationships depend on them.
