Summary

This quote reminds us that every human condition, whether positive or negative, is temporary. By embracing this understanding, we can avoid excessive joy when experiencing success and avoid being overly scornful during times of misfortune. The idea is to maintain an equilibrium in our emotions, acknowledging the impermanence of situations and avoiding extreme reactions. This perspective encourages a more balanced and measured approach to life's ups and downs, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.
