Philosophy on Time and Change

by | May 19, 2026

Time, what a funny thing. It moves, it always moves. Or is that right?
Is time moving or is life just changing?
What if change is time… and time is change.

Change is everywhere, constant, immovable. No man or woman could ever stop change from happening. Change is a force, a powerful force, and we have no choice but to surrender to change. We can fight it, we can resist, but it will be futile. More than futile, it will actually add suffering to our lives.

The more we grip onto the way things were, the things we had, the more pain we will feel.

Is time cruel? Does it only take away?
Of course not. How could that even be possible? Only taking things away, then we would be left with nothing.

Time and change are not taking things away; they are transforming, coming and going. Opening and closing forever. Forever changing and evolving. Forever flowing. Evolving and devolving. Constant. Everlasting. Change.

What does this mean for your soul?
Shall you just surrender to the winds of change? Do you have any choice in the matter? Why of course you do. Otherwise what reason would you have to exist?

You are here to not only experience change, but to create change. To assist and play in the realm of change, of cause and effect, of intention and action.

It’s all here for you to be a part of too.

And yes, time will still be there to test your flexibility, adaptability, and your openness. You will feel every emotion known to man in your lifetime. From the deepest pain and sorrow to the highest ecstasy, and everything in between.

Would you have it any other way?

So embrace the changes of time. Flow with them. Feel them. Guide them. Enjoy them.
