well, as a buddhist, i'd say you are preaching their basic precept;
the only constant in life is change. things change, people, geography, age, whatever. thus, when things change that we are 'attached' to, we usually suffer, because we are attached to things things that HAVE to change since we can't stop time, but ultimately we want to stay attached to.
thus, the only way to live in a world full of inescapable suffering is to maintain a perspective in the moment, for not only is it really the only real fucking moment if you think about it (duh), but it allows us to be more prone to dealing with loss when it does occur.
I mean, that's how I view things personally, but I find it really helps when the unexpected does come. there is only this moment right now. why make it a sad one. although you do have to respect the loss and accept the change, or it ultimately means you're just repressing your loss into the future. bad idea.
