If we can change the cause of the hostility, there is still hope for a good friendship in the future. We all have the freedom to change our lives and destinies. For example, we can improve on our social skills to change our destinies. Such changes are within my control, within your control, and within everyone s control. We all, equally and without exceptions, have the possibilities to become good or bad.
Impermanence denies the control of gods.
Once we understand impermanence, we can decide the future for ourselves. We can free ourselves of the control of gods and become our own masters. Our future is within our control. If we can be righteous, refrain from violating others, and nurture a multitude of good causal relationships with others, impermanence can change a life of misfortune into a prosperous one. Impermanence embodies the spirit of freedom.
