Ignorance thinks of the impermanent as permanent, the impure as pure, pain as pleasure and the non-self as the self.

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2.5

anitya = impermanent
asuci = impure
duhkha = pain
anatma = non-self
su = in these
nitya = permanent
suci = pure
sukha = pleasure
atma = self
khyatir = thinks
avidya = ignorance, blindness to absolute truth

In the Summer I often come to Hastings (a seaside town in the UK) and see and hear seagulls and baby seagulls. It’s not the same baby seagulls I see every year, but there is something very same-y about them.

Death has nothing to do with going away.
The sun sets and the moon sets, but they’re not gone.
