Because all things are impermanent they can never be a source of happiness to us. They can never be a source of support or consolation. When, however, we obtain a deep insight into the true nature of things, we become free--completely, ultimately, and abidingly free from all selfish craving, which is the cause of our suffering.
---Essence of the Dhammapada, by Eknath Easwaran---
