Permanence

Most if not all of us are looking for a forever.  Something that we can count on, that will not change, something we can make that will leave a mark in the world.  Thing is, forever is a lie.  People change and die, reputations & legacies fade & are overwritten,  buildings crumble, natural disasters or wars wipe out the sturdiest of things in the blink of an eye, the entire earth could be destroyed, even stars die eventually.  If we're lucky, we find something that will last a lifetime, or maybe even a few.  Sometimes the things we expect to last do not, while something that was never imagined to be lasting will be dug up a thousand years later and displayed at some museum.
