Some systems have short and chaotic lives, and other systems grow and mature for a long time. What matters is not how long a system lived, but how well it served its purpose.

Memento mori, the inevitable entropy, constant decay, and disintegration. But also, vive ut vivas, live that you may live - there is an opposite force, often called negative entropy or "negentropy", but I prefer to think of as creativity. It's what organizes things, flowers, designs, buildings, systems.



indeed, thankyou
