Empathy towards Things

Gold is the symbol of wealth, which is also never permanent,

through life experiences our soul is enriched more and more

so that our personality is enriched and modified over time as clouds are never stable but in constant motion.

​

"Empathy towards Things" is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (mujō), or transience of things,

and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer,

deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.
