The white hair
Change is the constant reality of life, observed in the body and the passing of time. Grey hair is a natural and beautiful sign of a life fully lived, a mark of maturity to be accepted, not hidden with artificial color. Attempting to conceal this change is an act of pretense, distancing you from reality. Such artificiality even extends to creating environmental harm through the products used to deny this truth. Every moment passes and cannot be recaptured. Therefore, one must utilize time through dedicated practice.
"To attain white hair, grey hair—to attain a white or grey beard—is not simple. It is the best part of life."
"Every second is past, is lost from our life. Past time will not return. Therefore, utilize your time. Practice, practice, practice."
