The following thoughts were coursing through my mind: "Entropy is (seemingly) inescapable. Therefore, (presumably) nothing is safe from being annihilated at any (future) point in that thing's existential timeline (except for pure nothingness (which means that (perhaps) only pure nothingness is safe from being deleted or altered as a consequence of becoming older))." "Perhaps no object except for pure nothingness is guaranteed to exist for an infinitely long time (and at all times)."
