We cannot fight the comings and goings of life and death. We are all trapped within the parameters of impermanence, and we are all helpless to the changes inherent not only in social life but also in life as such. We cannot possible change those things fundamentally, so why worry about them? What we can do, though, is find a path to realization of ourselves, so that we can live as human beings, and—without deluding ourselves or others—in peace within ourselves and with relation to the world outside. All paths are the journey. Whatever gets you farther along in your journey toward your destination, realization of Self, is good . What doesn't is bad. There is no substantive importance to individual paths; they are just paths. The goal of Self-realization is all that is important.
