    Seven Decades is an offshoot from Oldsters View which is a news aggregation site specializing in digging out oddities in the news and putting them in a convenient place for you to read them. I try to avoid editorializing on Oldsters View and to keep my own random thoughts to a minimum. So Seven Decades will be the place for that. I hope you will find it interesting, and maybe, sometimes, relevant to your life.

Permanency

If you reflect for a moment you will realize that nothing is permanent…not me, not you, not the Earth we live on, no human relationship. Cars wear out, houses fall down, nations and cultures disappear. Indeed one day even the Sun which energizes all life on Earth will be no more and in its’ passing it will take the Earth with it.

This is neither a bad thing nor a good thing. It’s just the way that things are.

Who knows what will arise from our passing? Could you predict an apple tree from the death of an apple seed? Look at the seed and see the fruit inside? Note the faces of the people who will benefit from the death of the seed when it becomes a tree?
