buddhist 'wisdom' or 'defeatism?'

"Body impermanent like spring mist; mind insubstantial like empty sky; thoughts unestablished like breezes in space. Think about these three points over and over."

-Adept Godrakpa, "Hermit of Go Cliffs"

whatever the final judgement call on this attitude may be, I know one thing; life truly does seem to work like this. Does this make humans fickle or just one more species in nature?

more personally, am I shallow because my feelings change as frequently as the weather?

'you can't handle love, it's obvious...' thanks Bjork for the backup lyrics to my thoughts...
