Change itself cannot harm you. And change cannot help you reach true being either. The world's history flows like a rushing river made up of all the events that happen. As soon as something appears and passes away, another thing takes its place. And that too will soon be gone.
To suffer change can be no hurt; as no benefit it is, by change to attain to being. The age and time of the world is as it were a flood and swift current, consisting of the things that are brought to pass in the world. For as soon as anything hath appeared, and is passed away, another succeeds, and that also will presently out of sight.
