Change

Change. The process of becoming different.

When an object changes, it always changes in some particular way.

A question then arises. What sort of change happens after the object is destroyed?

Like the ship in the story below.

" In ancient times, there was a ship called the "Theseus". As the years wore on, the Theseus started getting weak and creaky. The old boards were removed, put into a warehouse and replaced with new ones. Then, the masts started tottering. Soon they were also warehoused and replaced. In this way, after fifty years, this ship now has all new boards, masts and everything. "

Is the ship in the harbour now called the "Theseus"?

Few changes have taken place lately. Old folks left and replaced with new ones. For those who left, it is either a case of non-negotiable or self-realisation.

The next level is thinking and already one is leaving. It was not much of the former case and yet not totally the latter. The hints were there.

I have been thinking too. I am not sure if I have read the hints correctly.

I may go down that path.

It is just a matter of timing.

Yours.

And mine.

Certain things are better meant to be understood when one is placed in the actual situation.
