Top 35+ Examples of The Natural Change and Decay of Things
Nothing lasts forever. That's why life and our time in this world is so precious. But what does that mean for inanimate objects? For objects that can feel love or loss?
That's the catch. We, the users and creators of things appreciate their lives for them. When our shoes wear down we buy new ones. When a layer of paint has built up to long we remove it.
As creators of consumption, it's easy for us to see the world through the things we use. So take this as a reminder to always appreciate life and what you have now because one thing is for certain, it won't last forever.
