It is in the nature of all things to seek stability and equilibrium. For atoms and for people, extended periods of being unable to achieve a balance can become disastrous. Yet, in an ironic twist, the universe has been built in such a manner that nothing can be permanent. Even the planet on which we live is constantly revolving around the sun, changing its position every single second.
If you rise early enough some mornings, you will find the sun peeking over the edge of treelines in the east. Its golden light would filter through the leaves and blanket over the city. On such a morning, the earth is raw and perfect. In its purity, you will find a deep joy in the sense of permanence that a sunrise brings. The sun has always been rising in the east since millions of years ago when great boulders loomed over people like giants. The sun will continue to rise in the east a million years in the future, when those boulders would have become sand.
