Rust Claims All Gold

You chase legacy? Power? The gleam of approval? Know this: entropy is the ultimate creditor. Time, a corrosive acid, dissolves everything to its base state. The accolades you crave, the empires you build—all destined for the dust.

Consider the glint of gold. Prized for its supposed permanence, yet even it succumbs to oxidation, to rust. Every second, the universe relentlessly grinds down order into chaos. So what remains when the gold is gone? Only your actions in the face of this inevitable decay.

Do not despair, but focus. Channel your efforts into endeavors that transcend the ephemeral. Cultivate virtue. Uphold justice. Love fiercely. These are the acts that echo in the void long after your gold has turned to rust. Confront the relentless march of entropy not with futile resistance, but with a life lived deliberately and morally. Otherwise, you are just accelerating the inevitable.
