Seneca reminds us that endings and beginnings are two sides of the same process of change. To resist endings is to resist the new possibilities they create. When a relationship ends, a job concludes, or a phase of life finishes, we often focus on the loss while missing the space being created for something new. This perspective doesn't minimize the pain of endings but helps us see them as natural transitions rather than pure loss. Understanding this cycle helps us navigate change with greater wisdom and less resistance, recognizing that what feels like destruction is often actually transformation.
