We believe that we are somehow insufficient or vacant. So, we take hold of some experience in order to fill that void. We cling to the experience as if it were some solid entity that can endure the rigors of time. However, in the end, we see that it comes to pass as all things do. Since we continually ignore the fleeting nature of “things” we continually find ourselves disappointed and heartbroken by them. This is a consistent feature in most of our lives. This is the movement of suffering.
