Pali: Pare ca na vijānanti mayaṃ ettha yamāmasenYe ca tattha vijānanti tato sammanti medhagā
English: There are those who do not realize that one day we all must die. But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
Reflecting on this verse, it highlights how our perception of impermanence profoundly impacts our actions and relationships, urging us towards reconciliation and peace.
How can we cultivate a deeper awareness of our mortality in our daily lives, and how might that awareness transform the way we approach conflict?
