Everything

Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, wrote, “On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.” 

I think that can be expanded to “everything.” Empires, cultures, traditions, and even ideas come and go. It is part of the life cycle.

And while that can seem depressing, it can also be a reminder that the things we are so frustrated with–well, they won’t last forever either.

If things were to stay the same, slavery would still be here. The point is that we can evolve and change. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes, for the worse. What’s constant is the change itself.
