The mere mention of the title strikes a deep cord within all of us. Does everything end? more importantly, does it have to end are the kind of questions which come to our minds. Its not that we are not aware of the inevitable, nor is it a situation where we have not had a passing thought fly through, its just the whole concept of a finiteness baffles us. We have been taught to aspire for the stars and beyond, and now you come and tell me that there is a shelf life to everything, how can that be?
We pick up food and look at the expiry date for each. Medicines are not spared either and if I really look at my peers, most of their relationships all come with a similar tags. Its a constant reminder which seems to stares at our faces in every walk of life. Then why is it that we overlook it and continue to indulge? why is it that we rarely even admit it and want to still hold on to something way past the date?? how is it that everything has not collapsed and every industry ( which also has a shelf life for high profits after which its a struggle ) shuts down and closes shop until we find a permanent solution to this epidemic. The whole concept should be creating a pandemonium throughout the world, but for some reason, the topic never surfaces.
I guess if i have to find the answer, I have to look back to Darwins theory of evolution. A constant throughout the ages of time has been change. Be it in the physical state, the adaptability to the environment, the social as well as the economic changes. People have to constantly evolve themselves, better themselves, take the chances and change with the time. Its not easy, and definitely sounds like a mammoth task but it has to be done. The theory of selection says that only the strong ( definition of strength may vary through time ) will survive and the weak shall perish. I guess, if we don't keep topping up our shelf lives in every circle, we shall also fade away and probably fail to live.
