This Too Shall Pass

Attachment is the root of suffering. You want to cling to pleasant experiences, hoping they'll last forever, and resist unpleasant ones, wishing they go away. But everything in life is impermanent.

King Solomon, renowned for his unparalleled wisdom, found himself grappling with an unexpected adversary: sadness. Even the brightest minds can be clouded by the shadows of melancholy.

In his quest for consolation, King Solomon turned to his most trusted advisors. "Find me a way," he implored, "to navigate the stormy seas of sorrow." The sages retreated. Their minds ignited with possibilities. Days turned to weeks as they pondered, debated, and refined their ideas.

Finally, they emerged with a solution. Elegant. Profound. Simple. A bracelet adorned with four words. These weren't just any words; they were a distillation of ancient wisdom, a mantra to shift perspective in an instant.

King Solomon put on the bracelet. He felt its weight. Not just physical, but the power of the message it carried. With each glance at his wrist, he was reminded of a fundamental truth about life's ever-changing nature. The steady reminder worked its magic. It grounded the king in the present moment. It helped him navigate both joys and sorrows with equanimity.
