Pages from Cold Point

The author states in the first paragraph "Life is visually too hideous for one to make the attempt to preserve it. Let it go. Perhaps someday another form of life will come along". He speaks about civilization and he mentions it is doomed to a short life. I agree. The life span of a human can last up to 100 years sometimes more depending on the individual and 100 years is very short not that long at all. Bodies get old and things get harder to do because of what hAppens to the body becoming wrinkled and old. When a person dies the body gets buried for the most part and it decays to nothing but bones. The author mentions he sees everything in decay. Eventually everything no longer exists and nothing is left. I believe one day another form of life will come along but we may never know.
