The practice of impermanence may initially scare some people, but those who understand the benefits of learning about it realize that practicing awareness of
impermanence helps them in their lives in many different ways. We may think that what we own or who we are close to will never change, but this is not true, because life is like the four seasons, and understanding this weather pattern will help us a great deal. For instance, when we know about the four seasons, we are able to prepare clothes and food for each season. Otherwise in the winter we may face much pain due to the cold weather. Similarly, understanding and learning about impermanence is the most useful tool to deal with the ups and downs in our lives, and this understanding will help prepare us to always be ready to face difficult challenges ahead in our lives. Learning about anything does not have an age limit, and in my opinion, it is always wise to be prepared rather than to let our worries and pain destroy our beautiful and meaningful lives.
