Natural Cycles

One year. Four Seasons. Twelve Months. 365 Days. 52 weeks. Sunrise. Sunset. Nature goes in cycles of repeated patterns. Although time never stops, time frames are grouped into cycles of similar pattern. The living and death of organisms can be seen as a cycle as a whole. An animal is born. It grows and reproduces, creating new life, then is dies. Some species may become extinct. Although that is the end of the cycle for that specific species, it does not end the cycle as a whole. New species can be developed, which starts a whole new cycle.

The recurring cycles of life and death will always be there. Nothing can last forever except for time. Time will continue on as cycles are repeated and as the world change. If something happens to exist forever, cycles will be disrupted. In this way, the cycles of life and death actually brings order to the world. The existence of these cycles does not disturb me. Knowing that nothing will last forever only shows how tiny we are to the world, the universe and time. Although some people may think that we have conquered nature in our current technologically advanced state, nature is so great that it can never be conquered. Who knows? The era of our species might be coming to an end!
