Forever Isn’t Forever

What’s something you believe everyone should know?

I wish everyone could truly understand this: nothing lasts forever. And yet, even though we all know it, we often forget it in the rush of life.

Not just death, but every experience is temporary. Joy fades, sorrow passes, love changes, celebrations end. A happy moment today may be a memory tomorrow. Pain that feels unbearable now will soften with time. Every emotion, every experience, every phase of life flows like a river — moving, changing, never stagnant.

Whether you are a king or a pauper, death eventually comes to all. Graves may differ, ceremonies may differ, but the decaying is the same. After death, you are just a body — not even the name you carried, not the fame you earned, not the wealth you accumulated. No one can love your lifeless body, and even your dearest ones cannot keep you forever.

This truth might feel harsh, but it is also liberating. It reminds us that status, possessions, grudges, and even fleeting emotions are temporary. What truly matters are the moments we live fully, the love we share, and the compassion we give. Those are the things that leave lasting ripples far beyond our own existence.

Understanding that nothing lasts forever encourages us to live mindfully, to appreciate joy while it’s here, to endure sorrow with hope, and to love deeply without clinging. Life is a series of passing moments. Death is inevitable, but life is rich with impermanence. And while nothing lasts forever, the goodness we create, the joy we share, and the love we give can endure far longer than wealth, fame, or titles ever could.
