Five Immutable Things

There are five immutable, unchangeable things that are present in all human lives. These are:

1) no one is able to cease getting old.

2) no one is able to completely avoid illness.

3) no one is able to escape dying.

4) no one is able to deny dissolution. Things fall apart all by themselves by the passage of time.

5) no one is able to deny extinction.

These points are part of the underlying framework of life on this planet. We must work around these things to make our own lives significant and fruitful in spite of the immutable things.
