”The Buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: Entropy increases. Things fall apart. We are all going. Nothing can last, not even the earth itself. The Buddha said that suffering was caused by desire, we’d learned, and that the cessation of desire meant the cessation of suffering. When you stopped wishing things wouldn’t fall apart, you stop suffering when they did. Memories fall apart, too. And then you’re left with nothing, left not even with a ghost but with its shadow.
