Everything is temporary. Temporal difficulties and constancy of temporality. In terms of life circumstances


- Ichigo, empty! A tiny girl jumped out of the closet.
- I'm coming! - the red-haired guy responded and, leaving the body, went to defend his hometown.
“This is temporary, temporary,” the guy repeated to himself every time, this girl had been living in his closet for two weeks, a secret from his relatives.

- What is this monster? the redhead asked, frowning as he looked at the scribbles of the shinigami.
- It's not a monster! It's chappie, asshole! - the blue-eyed girl shouted, beating Kurosaki Jr. with an album.
- Hey, fool! Enough! It hurts! Ichigo shielded his head with his hands.
"It's temporary, temporary, temporary..." the temporary shinigami repeated like a mantra.

"Ichigo, stop it!" Enough! The girl ran up to her wounded friend. - You can't fight anymore! Neither you nor him! The battle is over!
- Not yet! He's still alive! I haven't yet!.. – The guy began to fall forward.
- Ichigo! Rukia shouted and caught her falling partner. "You survived, Ichigo, thank you."
The rain mercilessly lashed my body, it is temporary, but I would like it to end sooner. He could feel the warmth of the little Shinigami's hands, one on his head and the other on his chest, treating his Kidō, and for some reason wished it would last longer.

"Oh, Rukia isn't going home at all today?" - Asked himself Ichigo, being in the toilet - It's already two in the morning. Okay, so I'll take a break from my Shinigami work tonight.
- Mmm! - heard someone mooing guy.
- A? what is this? What are the sounds? – looked around Kurosaki Jr., - Huh? Seem here, - Ichigo bent down, looking behind the toilet, - Kon? - the temporary shinigami was surprised when he saw a plush lion, - Wait, what are you doing here? Weren't you going on a trip?
- Wow, what a mess! You saved me, thanks! – thanked Ichigo already untied Kon.
“Not at all,” the boy replied.
- There, from the other side, it is not visible who entered, so that I had to figure you out by smell, well, by the sounds that you made.
Ichigo took out a fragrance and squirted it on Kon.
- What are you?.. What are you doing? Is that what they do with best friend who endured such suffering for long hours? the lion was outraged.
- Shut up! You're not a friend, but a stinker!
- But I have nothing to do with it! Sister Ru…” Kon stammered and was about to run, but the hand of Kurosaki Jr. stopped him, “Ah, right! Ichigo, our sister is in big trouble right now!
- I told you not to come near me! the guy threw Cohn away.
Landing on the table, a plush lion saw a letter:
- Oh, look here, what are you trying to tell me that you didn't notice before?
- What is it? the redhead asked.
- What is not clear here? Kon crossed his paws, - Farewell letter!
- Farewell? - the guy asked again, - Then why didn’t you go anywhere, but ended up in my toilet?
- Yes, because I did not write it! - the lion was angry, - After that story, I dropped in here to say goodbye to my sister before a long journey. And do not think that I ran home with my tail between my legs, I did it out of a sense of duty. Sister, sister left us and went away.
- Gone? - Ichigo asked surprised, - Without saying a word to me?
- Shut up! Shut up! How am I supposed to know? I was here next to her, and she left me without explaining anything, - Kon cried, - How do I know why she didn’t tell you this?!
“Damn, that Rukia. I wonder what she's thinking about? the guy asked himself as he opened the envelope.
- What? Kon jumped onto the temporary Shinigami's shoulder, peering into the letter.
- "Pleasant deciphering" - Ichigo read on the right side of the letter, - "Barmen barzhno baruiti" and so on. What kind of nonsense? “This is a hint,” the guy read in the left corner of the letter next to an incomprehensible creature, “But what does it mean? Agr! In the text, there are only bars-restaurants! It must be a badger! – guessed Kurosaki, - Let's try to remove all these bars. "I have to go. Don't look for me and don't worry, burn the letter after reading it. Try to hide somewhere safely, ”the guy read after decoding,“ What does this mean? I still don't understand why she left? Why? I wonder what made her think?
- You still don't understand? Something happened! Eh, Kon sighed, "Burn the letter, hide immediately." Why did our sister become so worried about us? It is obvious! Something happened between her and the community of souls! And so, in order not to bring trouble on us and on all the rest, sister, she left. Perhaps my sister is already dead, the lion cried.
- Stop. Let's not imagine God knows what. As they say, talking will not help matters, - said the red-haired.
- Ichigo?
"Come on, Kon, I'll turn into a Shinigami and go after Rukia."
Without noticing it himself, he wanted the “temporary” to last a little longer.

The red-haired girl found the girl quickly, but two strangers were standing next to her, and Isis was lying nearby. Realizing that they were enemies, the temporary Shinigami immediately attacked them, but he lost.
- Do not move! If you take even one step. If you dare to follow me. I won't forgive you for anything! Death awaits you anyway, stay where you are and live longer, at least for a couple of moments.
There were tears in her eyes. He knew it was temporary, but he didn't want to see them again. Never. He will do everything so that she never cries!

“Well, well, well, it’s still early for you to get up Mr. Kurosaki, your wounds have not healed yet,” the merchant entered the room, “Sudden movements can kill you.”
- Striped hat? So this is your house? Ichigo asked.
"Quite right," Urahara said, shutting his fan.
- You saved me, didn't you? Kurosaki Jr. frowned.
- What? How unfortunate, it seems, we are not happy, as if we did not want to be rescued.
- Wait a minute, there was still a wounded Isis. What happened to him? Is he here too?
- No, he immediately turned back to his house. He lost a lot of blood, but his injuries were not particularly serious, if I had left him there he would have calmly lasted a couple more days, I treated his wounds right on the spot without much worries. When he left, he was worried about you Mr. Kurosaki.
- Isis about me? Can not be! Ichigo was surprised.
- I suggested that he come with us here and get some rest.
flashback.
- Thank you very much, I'm fine. Better take care of Kurosaki's health. If anyone can defeat them, then only he. And only he can save Rukia Kuchiki.
end flashback.
So said Isis.
- Just me? Hah! And what should I do? – Ichigo's voice could be heard grin, - Rukia returned to Soul Society! - the guy said angrily, - How can I follow her ?! How can I save her?! - Despair is clearly heard in the voice, - I can't do it. Unable to!!
Do you really think he doesn't exist? Kurosaki raised his brown eyes in surprise at Urahara, "A way to get to the Soul Society?"
- How? How can I get there?! – jumped up Ichigo, - Tell me! he demanded.
- Of course, I'll tell you! With only one condition! - the merchant delivered an ultimatum.
- What?
“Over the next 10 days, I will help you master the fighting technique.
- What? Comprehend the technique of combat? Study again? - the red-haired one was indignant, - I don't have time for this! We don't know exactly when Rukia is going to be killed in Soul Society! I have to get there as soon as possible!
“What a dumbass you are,” Ichigo laid on Urahara’s back, holding his cane in front of his face, “I’m telling you, it’s too early for you to think about victory. You will die if you go into battle right now. Last time I let you fight them because I thought it would get to you faster. Admit it now that you are not strong enough to go to Soul Society, you are still too weak. When a weak enemy climbs into enemy territory, this is suicide. "To save Rukia"? What the Kindergarten? If you want to die, do not hide behind others, - Urahara stood up and stepped aside, - Usually in the Soul Society, a delay of one month is given before the death sentence is carried out. I think Miss Kuchiki will have the same fate.
- Mortal? Ichigo jumped up.
- Her death will not be quite the same as that of people, so for 10 days I will torment you. It takes 7 more days to open the gates to Soul Society. It turns out that you have 13 days left in Soul Society, which should be enough.
- Can I get stronger in 10 days? Kurosaki asked.
"Of course," Kiske replied, "If you really want to save Lady Rukia with all your heart." Love has become stronger.
Has love become stronger? Should have remembered that. Who knows, maybe that will change everything.

- Inoue? - Ichigo turned around and saw a classmate, - What is it? What happened?
Where did Kuchiki go? - she stunned the guy with her question, - Why did everyone suddenly forget about her, as if she didn’t exist? I figured Kurosaki should know something.
"So Kuchiki has returned to the world she came from?" Inoue stated.
- Yes, - Ichigo confirmed, - Well, you surprised me! Inoue, tell me honestly, when did you find out about us? When? the guy asked.
- Do you remember the story with my brother? Orihime asked a counter question.
- A? Here's how.
- Yes. I am terribly grateful to you for what you did then, you saved my brother. You know, for some reason I'm sure that he's happy now! I can feel it.
- Truth?
- Uh-huh, - the girl nodded, - I wonder if Kuchiki is doing well there too, because she has family friends? she asked a classmate.
"I have to return it," Ichigo said, frowning.
- A? What? Why is she happy there? Inoue was surprised.
- I do not think. It just so happened that she could be killed at any moment,” Kurosaki replied.
- Now you will say this: “Even if she has a family there, while we are alive we can meet, but when we die, everything will end” - Inoue tried to copy a classmate, - Kurosaki, you have already decided everything for yourself.
- She was here. Her place is here. She will return here. Thank you.
He will come for her not just to save her from execution, but to change the temporary to permanent.

Bye Rukia! Ichigo smiled at his friend.
They stood near the Seikaimon after saving Rukia.
- Till! Kuchiki smiled at her departing friend, "Thank you, Ichigo."
“I should be the one to thank you, Rukia. Thanks to you, the rain will finally stop," the boy mentally thanked the dark-haired Shinigami.
For some reason, he is sure that they are parting for a while, that soon they will be together again.

- Rukia, I have to tell you something, - Ichigo stood in front of the dark-haired girl, - The fact is that I ... I ... I love you, Rukia.
- Ichigo you... Ichigo you are an idiot! The younger Kuchiki jumped up and gave the guy a slap on the back of the head.
- Ai! For what? - the temporary Shinigami was indignant, rubbing the bruised place, he confesses his love to her, she beats him, you see!
"Couldn't you have told me this before?" Do you know how tired I am of pretending that you are just a friend to me?! the girl frowned.
- So stop. Wait! Are you me too...
- Yes. I love you too, Ichigo.
“I love”, a simple set of sounds and letters that form a word that takes a short period of time, but you really want to hear this word from the lips of your beloved all the time. And constantly say her this word in response.

The couple was walking in the park. Rukia was carrying a small plush rabbit that Ichigo had won for her at the shooting range.
- Rukia, throw it on, - Kurosaki Jr. handed his jacket to the girl.
- Why? - the girl was surprised, - I'm not cold.
- So what? - the guy still threw a jacket on the girl's shoulders, - Autumn is in the yard. It wasn’t enough for you to get sick, - and kissed her on the nose.
Rukia grimaced a little and then smiled happily as she wrapped herself tighter in the boy's jacket.
Her smile, the phenomenon is also temporary, but he will do everything in his power to make this emotion appear as often as possible on her face.

The redhead woke up late in the morning. Next to him, he saw a miniature Shinigami. Opening her eyes, she immediately closed her eyes against the bright sun.
- Good morning! The girl smiled and kissed the boy on the corner of his lips.
- Kind! He kissed her back.
Temporarily? No. He will do anything to keep it always.

Ichigo stands next to the priest, clearly worried, his hands shaking slightly. But he immediately calms down when he sees her. Rukia is as beautiful as ever. The white dress fits perfectly on her figure, her hair is braided in a simple hairstyle, she was holding a bouquet of white lilies in her hands. She walks over to him and he takes her hands in his.
Today, his desire to be with her always will come true. After all, sooner or later everything temporary becomes permanent!
- By the power given to me, I declare you husband and wife!

Nothing is more permanent than temporary. Familiar? It's about us, about our life. This expression can be heard quite often and for completely different reasons. Let's look at this phrase from different angles and we'll get amazing explanations for it.

From the point of view of dialectical materialism

What is constancy and does it exist in nature? If we consider the phrase “There is nothing more permanent than temporary” from the point of view of dialectical materialism, then constantly, or rather continuously, in the world there is only movement, without it matter does not exist. Movement is change, any matter without movement is a frozen chaotic mass. There is also a certain constancy here, which is usually called peace, according to philosophers, it lasts a very short period of time. After it, movement (change) begins again.

If this is accepted as true, then there is nothing permanent in the world. Movement involves creation, development, destruction, and so on ad infinitum, nothing in our world is eternal. But what about persistence? So the expression "there is nothing more permanent than temporary" means nothing? After all, we are used to this word, there is such a concept in physics. But the whole point is that everything in the world is relative, that for the universe a short moment of peace, for a person a whole life. It is this expression that we are considering that makes more sense in a slightly different interpretation of "nothing is more temporary than permanent."

In terms of "looseness"

The expression under consideration can be compared with the famous phrase of Viktor Chernomyrdin, which has recently moved into the category of wise sayings “we wanted the best, it turned out as always.” He, of course, meant that we dream of doing a lot in our lives perfectly, but as soon as it comes to work, different kind reservations and agreements, mostly with himself.

It sounds something like this: “This is not the main thing, it can be done temporarily, then, when there is an opportunity, we will redo it.” Often this temporary stays for a long time, thoughts of imperfection occasionally flash in my head, and then completely disappear, as they say, for the time being, which may not come.

The illusion of constancy

To be honest, there is nothing permanent in our life. This concept exists only in an illusory form in our minds. Nevertheless, we strive for constancy, acquiring items that will create the illusion of constancy for us, where we dream of finding peace, which, for example, in Kabbalah, is presented as a kind of highest point of bliss. We are far from this, and not everyone thinks about it, but this is by the way.

There is another wise saying that we only dream of peace, which, based on life experience, speaks of the illusion of constancy. Man in real life cannot achieve permanence, and therefore peace. This is also evidenced by the expression that "everything flows, everything changes."

Try to remember something constant in our life. Let's start with global. The state cannot be permanent; our country can serve as an example. Socialism in the Soviet Union was replaced by the chaos of the 90s, which led us to wild capitalism at the present time.

A job that we consider permanent can be lost at any time for reasons beyond our control. The joy of the repair made in the apartment, for which you spent a lot of money and time, can be replaced by disappointment from the open tap left by the neighbor from the upper apartment. Sleep gives us a temporary feeling of relaxation, food gives us a temporary feeling of satiety, and so on ad infinitum.

In terms of life circumstances

We strive for constancy at work, in family life. Hearing the quote “there is nothing more permanent than temporary”, a person tries to convince himself and others of the opposite. To do this, in order to create the illusion that everything is fine with us, we enter into a mental agreement with ourselves that certain circumstances force us to temporarily do something that does not suit us, but this is all temporary, until better times.

There is no work to our liking, we temporarily agree to another, in the hope that neither today, nor tomorrow we will find one that will suit us. There is no loved one, and the years go by, we settle for the first one that comes across, reassuring ourselves that we will soon meet the love of our life. And so on all counts. But years pass, and our “temporary” becomes “permanent”, and it’s good if you get attached to work and get along with your husband, otherwise big disappointments await a person.

Wisdom of affirmation

Since this is an often quoted statement, it means that it is relevant and contains a certain truth. What is the wisdom of the phrase "nothing is more temporary than permanent"? The point is that you can not put off life for later. Reality needs to be lived today finding in it the joy of satisfaction. Any work must be done conscientiously, so that later it would not be embarrassing, you would not have to redo it and waste time and energy on it again.

The wise sayings of famous people teach us to live, not to pay attention to the secondary, but help to capture the essence. You can listen to a lecture for many hours, ask questions and not understand the main thing. The wisdom is that one phrase can make us look at the world in a new way. Maybe A.P. Chekhov was right when he once said that "brevity is the sister of talent."

Who is the author of the statement

Like everything else, this phrase must have an author. “Nothing is more permanent than temporary”, who said that? This statement belongs to the pen of Kozma Prutkov, and since this is the collective pseudonym of Alexei Tolstoy and the three Zhemchuzhnikov brothers, it is not possible to establish verbatim which of them this phrase belongs to.

But one can presumably conclude that this was most likely said by the 19th-century poet Alexei Tolstoy. Since it was he who was the author of most of the aphorisms of Kozma Prutkov.

"There is nothing more permanent than temporary," says an Eastern proverb. Probably, you should not always look for something permanent, great love and a guarantee of a long-term relationship. Nothing is guaranteed in this life. It is only guaranteed that we were born and that one day we will die. Because of the search for guarantees, we often miss life itself and its possibilities, the diversity of its colors. We miss what is next to us, what could fill us - even for a short period of time, let it be not a story or a novel, but a quatrain or even one sentence, but if we do not chase the horizon, then these quatrains and sentences can fill us up and prepare us for stories and novels. And who knows, maybe someday the most permanent will happen from such a "temporary" one.

Women are looking for long-term, secure relationships in which they can have a baby, gain psychological security and relax. A woman wants to find a man who belongs exclusively to her - she is ready to build relationships with him and deepen them all her life. The woman is more down to earth.

The man is the wind. He is a conqueror by nature. Constantly conquering different women, he asserts himself in his eyes. This does not mean that he does not need a permanent woman - he needs, he needs a reliable rear, a harbor to which he can always return after his campaigns and victories. And if you allow this "liner" to go to the open sea and surf the expanses of life and other women, then he will always happily return to his harbor.

Usually this is followed by the question: "So, he will now fuck right and left, and I will sit at home and wait for him?". Firstly, no one can fuck right and left all his life, when the limit comes, after which sex becomes not the main thing, but the person becomes the main one. But if you hold back sex, then it becomes an obsession. Secondly, if one person is free in a relationship, then the other is free as well. There is no freedom for one. It has big risk but love lives on the loose.

In order for us to learn something, we need to experience a variety of relationships. We will never understand the value of a relationship if we have not had other experiences. In order to find "that", one must go through the set of "not that". White writes on black, and if you write white on white, then we will never see what is written. If we do not have negative experiences, we will never understand the value of positive ones, we will not notice them at all.

You have to go through the different relationships, to know and recognize different people, and then, one day, it will really be possible to find your own. And if you assign every person you meet and seek loyalty from him for life, cling to him, then you will definitely never find your own.

And we all cling, we are big owners. Entering into a relationship with someone, we demand that the other person belongs to us, and only to us. So that from now on he would look only at us, love only us, be interested only in us. But is it possible? We are all living people, and if we are interested in one person, then another person may be interested in the same way. We just need to admit that if another liked us once, then he might like someone else, even under the most better relations. (cm. )

Sometimes, in order to appreciate what we have, it is necessary to go a distance, to know a different experience, a different relationship. We are alive, we are not dead - we want to communicate with others, to see admiration and recognition of ourselves in their eyes, to learn new things, to bring something fresh into our lives, because any relationship eventually becomes mechanical and routine. We like our partner, we are ready to continue our relationship with him further, but we are also interested in other people. And we would love to "ventilate", but we are afraid that we will lose what we have - therefore we control the other, and the other, in return, controls us. And in these deadly embraces, we slowly die, dreaming of getting rid of them.

By allowing another to act and live as he understands, we acquire value for ourselves. The other can leave us, he can cool off towards us for a while, anything can happen - even in nature there are ebb and flow, day and night, summer and winter. The intensity of feelings cannot be kept 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, otherwise we will simply burn out. Therefore, in any relationship there are phases of activity and passivity, you just need not be afraid of them.

Even if another person leaves us, he can return to us again, and then the relationship will acquire a completely different quality, a different value, they will be renewed, because the other will look at what he has in a new way, and we ourselves will be able to appreciate the person and what we have. And what has already ceased to have value due to everyday fuss, familiarity and mechanicalness in relationships, will shine in a new way, acquire new colors, new value, because, moving aside, we rediscover what we have.

And it is possible that our partner will find a new interest and go further to seek his happiness. It is useless to cling to what is leaving - it will either return on its own, in a new quality, or it will not return, and we need to rise and go looking further. And we are afraid to go out and look. These relationships were difficult for us, and it’s just scary to go and go out into the open again, we don’t believe in ourselves or that we can find something else. Therefore, we never let go, we cling to the last, spoil relationships and leave them crippled, with lost faith in men or women. We come out of relationships with wounds.

If we still relatively easily enter into relationships, then it is very difficult for us to leave them. We enter and lock the door behind us with all the locks, throw away the keys and even forget where the door is. And then we bang our heads against the wall, trying to get out. And all because of mutual possession.

It is useless to demand freedom from another; one must always begin with oneself. And we usually make claims to another, not realizing that possession is always mutual. The Other possesses us only because we possess him.

"There is nothing more permanent than temporary," says an Eastern proverb. Probably, you should not always look for something permanent, great love and a guarantee of a long-term relationship. Nothing is guaranteed in this life. It is only guaranteed that we were born and that one day we will die.

And who knows, maybe someday the most permanent will happen from such a "temporary" one.

Often a quote or a well-known expression gets stuck in the head for a long time. Successful people are advised to write down all the thoughts that come to mind, as well as important sayings. This helps to keep the most important in sight, so you can return to the recording at any convenient time.

Sayings of famous people in everyday life

Each person is guided in his life by certain canons. Some of them were vaccinated by parents, while others came with experience. You can also take as a rule the saying famous people. Many people do just that. Some even get tattoos with their favorite aphorisms so that they never forget the wisdom contained in them.

What does the expression "Nothing is more permanent than temporary" mean?

This saying is very popular among many people. What does it really mean? Probably, everyone interprets it differently for themselves, but in any case, there should be similar features in the interpretations.

The essence of the saying is that everything constant is deceptive. Moreover, when we say that something is permanent, we only emphasize once again that permanence is impossible in principle.

An old saying about the life-river comes to mind: "Everything flows and everything changes." It seems that deep ancient wisdom is hidden in these words. Take, for example, various teachings that say that it is impossible to become attached to a person or thing, because this leads to suffering. Even Antoine de Saint-Exupery, in his chic creation The Little Prince, mentions attachment as a path to tears.

What is the point?

The whole history of mankind is permeated with this truth, which is so difficult for people to accept. Why is it so difficult to give? Despite all the lyricism, the answer lies on the surface, and it is quite banal. A person loves pleasures, he becomes attached to them and does not want to be taken away from his favorite toy. The funny thing is that it doesn't matter what it's about - about a loved one or an addiction to food. As rude as it sounds, it's true. It is very rare to meet people who love their soul mate, but at any moment they are ready to let her go. And this is the real feeling.

You need to constantly be aware that what you love can leave you every second. It is necessary to accustom yourself to this thought in everything, so as not to be afraid to lose. That is why it is so important to find the "sun" in yourself, why it is so important to love loneliness and why a person needs to adjust the perception of life in loneliness. Only by loving loneliness, accepting and realizing it, you can open your life to another person. Only knowing that when parting you will not fight in hysterics, you can truly love. Realizing that another person has his own path and each of us is only looking for himself in the vast Universe, you can really develop.

Analogues

Interestingly, the same expression can be found in many cultures and peoples. Only the form, that is, the verbal attire, changes, but the essence remains the same. The expression “There is nothing more permanent than temporary”, the meaning of which we are trying to understand, as it turned out, is the wisdom that people somehow comprehended at great distances from each other and in completely different conditions.

Life is permanent change. Putting something within the framework of constancy, we already mean that the framework will be violated, because it is impossible otherwise. Why are vows of eternal love so sad? Why are vows of eternal friendship so sad? Why is it so sad when someone promises something eternal? Is it not because it only becomes clearer this way - there is nothing permanent and cannot be.

The most paradoxical thing is that only a moment can prolong a moment. Only by letting go of a person or situation can one receive them in eternity. They say that whatever you want to hold on to must be sand. Only by opening your palm, you can hold the sand in your hand. If we squeeze the palm, then the sand will slip away from us through our fingers.

There are many analogues of this expression. Perhaps there really is a meaning in the words "There is nothing more permanent than temporary"? Only by realizing this simple and obvious thing, you can learn to enjoy the moment "now". It’s a pity that years of someone’s life can take years to realize and accept this obvious truth.

Authorship

It is wonderfully said: "There is nothing more permanent than temporary." The author of this expression is still unknown. Some attribute these words to contemporary artists, but this is hardly fair. The old expression has been known to mankind for a long time. Some sources claim that its author was Jonathan Swift. There is no confirmed evidence, so it cannot be assumed that this is really the case.

There is also an opinion that these words may belong to Albert Jay Knock. He was an American-born educator, social critic, and libertarian anarchist. Sources say Jay Knock used a famous expression during the discussion. "There is nothing more permanent than temporary" - who is the author of these words? Unfortunately, this is a mystery.

Summing up some results, it should be noted that, despite the unclear authorship of the quote, it is still popular. The best thing is that it is still relevant today. It turns out that the words spoken many years ago can still have power today. Like it or not, it is unlikely that it will ever become known, but the truth of the words "There is nothing more permanent than temporary" we notice every day.
