“As a child, things seem truly permanent, but as you get older, everything you create has a shelf life to it, and will degrade. As a child, maybe you work with a parent to build a little tree house fort, and from your perspective, it will last forever. As an adult, you pay one or two months’ income to replace your furnace, your car’s transmission, etc., and realize that you’ll just have to do this again in 10-20 years, because everything wears out. Then, there’s the big impermanence issues — realizing that everything you do at work is a two- or four-year product/solution that will become garbage in the near future, or that no one will know a single thing about your life other than maybe your name in just a couple generations.”
