(great buildings and architecture–a second thing that is relatively permanent)

…and opportunities, it is mostly about change/s and how people adapt to it/these. Nothing is relatively permanent except for Nature, basic human nature, and the great works of art and architecture, the latter which tend to deteriorate over time more slowly. The fame and other works and accomplishments of mortal man fade quickly, are temporal and ephemeral, having a short life. The sphere of influence of the average person is much smaller than Nature and the Great Men (and Women) of history and the arts. It will always be thus.
