"But is that transience sad only in our minds? Not sad or evil in itself. The whole universe is in a state of change. Some will say a state of decay but as matter cannot be destroyed all matter simply changes state."
What may "in itself" mean? Does "in itself" exist? I guess that for there to be "in itself" there has to be a disembodied consciousness floating around like a ghost.
We moderns accept the state of change, that all is transient. Me, I'd say that transience, change, is the name of the relative world into which we are thrown at our birth, and without change there would be nothing. If there be good (noun) that transcends this relative world I'd like to know it, but I won't accept superstitions .
