There's a certain beauty behind transient moments. It follows a separate line of thinking than that of people used to keeping digital archives of their lives.

There's a certain beauty behind transient moments. It follows a separate line of thinking than that of people used to keeping digital archives of their lives.
The Japanese cherry blossoms are a bittersweet moment during the spring. People go flower-watching (花見) to admire the beauty and it is a happy time. But it is also a sad time, because it is only for a fleeting moment before the time has gone and another year must pass before you can see them bloom.
What makes them so special is that they do no last forever. If the cherry blossoms were in bloom year-round, they would not be any less beautiful - but I do not think they would see as much popularity. They would become commonplace and ignored.
Not everything needs to live on forever - and some things would "suffer" if they did.
