Mood is variable

Change is an unchanging truth of the world. Because everything in the world is in constant motion at every moment, change inevitably accompanies it. If everything in the world is continually changing, could the human being, who exists within the world and is even deeper than it, remain unchanged? Certainly not; humans too are in constant motion and are continually changing. For change is not a bad thing.

Change is in fact a form of difference. It is necessary for understanding what is good, beautiful, and pleasurable. We come to understand happiness through unhappiness, and comfort through hardship. Often, unpleasant circumstances may signal that something is going awry and therefore must be correctly interpreted. Emotional shifts within the soul may indicate the need for change, and they are also essential for recognizing the emotions we truly desire.

People may feel weary and believe that life is confined to the present moment when facing problems and difficulties. Yet that moment is only a very small part of life. The crises we experience are transient, not permanent. The proof lies in the fact that similar emotional states from the past have already changed. However, during difficult times, the hardships, problems, and struggles that have passed are rarely remembered. Yet they must certainly be recalled. Along with remembering the passing tensions and pressures, we must also recall the beauty and peace that replaced them. These should never be pushed aside or ignored. On the contrary, they must be taken from dusty shelves and brought vividly back into our imagination.

It must be understood that today too will one day become the past, and better days will come again and be lived. Perhaps even more beautiful days—more beautiful than any we have experienced, even beyond what we have ever imagined—will unfold. Even if nothing much changes in the world, the truth that much can change within a person’s inner world must be brought to light and kept at the center of our awareness. Let us not forget that the movement of the soul is stronger and more enduring than the movement of the heart. Even if the heart were to stop, the soul would continue to move. Therefore, let us find peace; after all, we possess a soul that never rests and is always ready to change. So let us strive only to guide its direction. Let us make every effort to direct it correctly—not merely to change direction, but to ensure it moves toward the right path.
