Impermanence: The Peace of “This Too Shall Pass”
In today’s episode of The Daily Morningcast, we explore one of life’s most comforting and humbling truths: impermanence — the reminder that “this too shall pass.”
From the ancient Persian proverb that inspired kings, to Abraham Lincoln’s 1859 reflection — “How chastening in the hour of pride, how consoling in the depths of affliction” — we trace how this timeless idea has soothed hearts for centuries.
Through the lens of Pixar’s Inside Out, we see impermanence in motion — emotions rising and fading, joy and sadness entwined, and the beauty that emerges when we stop clinging to what can’t stay the same.
This episode invites you to pause, breathe, and find peace in the rhythm of change — because the waves will keep rolling, the seasons will keep turning, and every moment is precious precisely because it won’t last forever.
