76) Take something that may appear permanent – say a canyon, a deeper canyon or a high mountain – and realize that its form reflects a long period of constant change.
77) Nothing is ever not changing, the idea of permanence of any kind, is not possible or real. In fact nothing is ever the same for any amount of time.
78) Anything you desire or would search for you must have come up with based on something you have seen , read, or imagined, or been told about. It is a construction of your mind, based on the past.
79) That thing you longed for, it is gone, due to it having changed since you last gazed on it or last saw it or read about it. It’s not the same thing anymore. It’s different. In fact, its better.
80) But what is it? Is it a physical thing or person? Or is it the reaction you have to this thing being present?
81) What you search for is not the person or the thing you thought, instead, it is the feeling you get when you encounter this thing.
82) What you search for cannot be known to you. For if it is, then you will never find it, because it is gone.

In 79)you say that "It's different. In fact, its better." I'd also like to point out that it's not so much that the "thing" is better, or different, but that it's you that has changed, making it seem different and better where the whole time, it's actually been the same.
