I Must Remember that My Body is Decaying

In Dhammapada, a book associated with Gautama Buddha, says this about the body,

“Look at the body adorned,
A mass of wounds, draped upon a heap of bones, A sickly thing, this subject of sensual thoughts! Neither permanent, nor enduring!
The body wears out,
A nest of disease,
Fragile, disintegrating,
Ending in death.”

I must do my best to take care of this one body given to me. There is a narrow window of time before my body will meet its complete demise, and that window is getting narrower. The time for effort towards self-improvement before it’s too late is right now.

That is true, especially in the sport of wrestling, or every day of life . One must improve to strive in whatever one faces , whether in health, or sports. And life in general.

With no offense to the o.p.-er, that guy makes Debby Downer sound like the most positive, uplifting person around.
