“Rivers meander, life has phases” (Old Vietnamese proverb) This proverb speaks to the impermanence of life’s conditions and its suffering — how situations in life can go from good to bad and vice versa. Challenges in life are inevitable, but whether one suffers with defeat or transforms from it, that is undecided. We do not have to wait out the suffering, hoping for better days, or bear its weight on our own. All phases of life are important and worthy of care and happiness so together we face the challenges of life (loss, grief, rejection, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc.).
