You know everything in Life is a Loss.

It is inevitable, it is Nature.
Even if I have my man, and we are together, it will only be a matter of time before I lose him again - to death, to another person, to another life...

I cannot but feel deeply for this Nature of Life and yet here it is and here I am, everything happening without emotions, the water flowing down the river with no wishes to hold onto any place in particular,
the fire burning, without any wish, other than to continue to burn,
earth births, earths absorbs, earths transmutes and alchemises, without any wish other than allowing for things to move and to happen, giving to each what needs, the seed nutrients, the roots stability, the corpses, new Life.
and the wind, blows, without any other wish other than to continue blowing, until it stops and then it moves again.

What is all this rush with Humans and our Emotions?...

I understand exactly why it can feel that way when you’re looking at it through the lens of time....

What you’re describing is real... ...everything changes, everything ends, everything moves.

Love doesn’t escape that.

Neither do people.

That part isn’t pessimism...it’s awareness.

But calling it all “loss” quietly assumes something important:

That the value of a thing is measured by how long you get to keep it.

The river doesn’t mourn the water it carried yesterday.

The fire doesn’t grieve the wood it already transformed.

Nature isn’t losing...it’s participating.

And humans? We’re the only ones who experience something twice:
once while it’s happening… and again when we remember it.

That second experience, memory, meaning, imprint....that’s not loss.

If you love someone and one day they’re gone, yes, there’s grief.

That’s real.

But it doesn’t erase what was built, felt, or changed inside you.

You’re not returned to zero.

You’re altered.... Expanded..... Marked.

Loss suggests subtraction.

Life is closer to transformation.

Even in your own words....you described earth taking in a body and turning it into new life.

That’s not loss.

That’s conversion.

The form disappears, but the essence continues in another language.

Humans rush and cling because we’re conscious of endings. That awareness creates urgency...but it also creates depth.

A sunset matters because it won’t stay.

A person matters because they’re not permanent.

So no...I don’t think everything is a loss.

I think everything is temporary, and we often mistake “temporary” for “meaningless” or “lost.”

But temporary things can be the most meaningful things there are.

To me.
