one day. every graveyard will be bulldozed for development..

nothings forever!.

once a generation with no emotional attachment takes over. nothings sacred.

George agrees with you!

There are things you can do to immortalize yourself. Write a best selling novel. Tolkien will be remembered forever. Bach, Tchaikovsky for music.. Michael Jackson. Trump even, he will be remembered as the worst president ever and people will take turns peeing on his grave.
All that other stuff, the buildings, housing, it is all built to be temporary. If humanity wanted things to last they would build them from concrete or steel.

The passing fad of existence. As I get older I almost find myself getting obsessive with the settled in realization that each day is a day lost forever. The finality of death. Some days it gives purpose and a reason to fight to leave a mark. Other days it's wondering what's the point.

@SpectralMourning I like to remember the quote by Eckhart Tolle, "...we are timeless, deathless creatures". He is a genius so I hope he's right. 🌟

The best thing about life is that it ends.
Beautifullyderanged · 41-45, F
@GeistInTheMachine do you honestly believe that?
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Beautifullyderanged Absolutely. Some of the most peace I've felt in my life has been when I thought I was drying. I was looking forward to seeing the other side again.

While we have to endure the worst moments, let's enjoy the present moment when we can.

It's the cycle of life. All we can do is embrace it.

Thinking about all of this makes my heart fade a little. The house I grew up in is already a place I can never visit again, and somehow that makes these words feel even heavier. We spend our lives building memories in places, only to realize that one day, even those places can become unreachable.
@Bleak But it isn't about the memories, it is about pleasure. You build things, take care of them, live in them, because it makes you feel good. It isn't so much the house as it is what the house does to make you happy. Like us, it is only temporary. Nothing to be sad about, if you have fond memories, mission accomplished.
We are not made to be immortal. We can’t be trusted with it.
Naked & with nothing we enter this life & naked & with nothing we will leave it.

And the only real momunment you have is the difference you made to others while you were here. Your every action is a chance to steer the ship into the future..😷

Someday a person might be interested in reading your letters or journal. It could be a complete stranger who finds it in a thrift store.
Think of all the people who have done research through geneology and wondered about the person behind the name.
Yup. Not much of point to any of it.
