The Glass is Already Broken

I liked the image of a broken glass that inspires me to think deeply about the impermanence of life. I saw this happening to me when I saw the dead body of a close relative recently. He had achieved much including name, fame and wealth and had built a big happy and wealthy family. Now like a broken glass, he lay there to be cremated. It was a shattering experience that made me reflect on the impermanece of life.
