Nothing lasts forever. Do you agree or disagree?

Agree.

Yes, all is temporary in life.

I’m not sure I agree.

Hatred frequently lasts forever. Not always.

Death, once experienced, lasts forever.

For some people, stupidity lasts forever as well.

I agree with the OP.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “Nothing is permanent but change.” Certainly no physical things last forever, and even in our own lives we are always changing. Maybe the laws of science or mathematics are permanent, but I am not 100% certain.

Infinity

I agree that nothing lasts forever. I like what @LostinParadise says. Also this:

“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but _surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.”_
― W. Somerset Maugham

Oh, and @ucme, who among us can ever live long enough to know whether even infinity lasts forever?

@Pachy Conversely, no one around to disprove it either.

That goes hand in hand with ‘you can never go home’. If I were to return to my home country, it would be a completely different land than it was when I was young and it would ruin my memories. Places and things are in a constant state of evolution and change.

Agree, everything is of an impermanent nature.
The teacup is already broken. Buddhist philosophy, enjoy your teacup but remember it is already broken. Meaning to not become overly attached to anything, person, place, thing as it is all temporary.

Be fully present ( give your attention to ) with what you care for in the moment but hold on loosely. No-thing lasts forever.

Yes

It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could you know. That’s why we wake
and look out—no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.

By William Stafford

Nothing ever could.

I disagree. By definition, eternity lasts forever.

However, I do agree that no physical object or being, or anything incorporeal held by them, lasts forever.

I read that red dwarf stars are projected to have a life span of 14 trillion years.

Forever, lasts forever.

I would have agreed with you entirely but having lost a grandson to cot death, I can’t see that as being anything but permanent.

@dappled_leaves I got it.

But what is “forever” if there is no being able to define it?

“Now don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away and all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.”
Except even that is not forever, is it?

Even time and infinity will come to an end when the universe finally collapses and yields to the next one, so I’m going with “agree.”

@yankeetooter It was all I could think of when I read this question. ;)

I disagree.

Matter and Energy

My love for my family will last forever.

The empty space of the universe.

Entropy must proceed to the maximum

I had a conversation about this with a friend. It was late and we were outside on a clear night. We were talking about different theories of how the universe is supposed to end, and the likelihood of it ending with accelerated expansion and a big chill. But that if it goes the other way, and at some point the universe starts contracting again, that could lead to another big bang, and maybe at some point in the very distant future, two other people would the same conversation on another night. We weren’t high, I promise!

It was one of those wandering, late-night talks. We were pointing out different stars to each other and shit. He wondered if it mattered that we were out there having this conversation, in light of what we were talking about. In the end, we decided it was enough that we were there.

I agree.
Even this question on Fluther will fade away.

Crap! I’ve lost the “Hijack” thread! Where is it??
