Once born, a thing endures its existence forever.

 For something to cease to exist, it would have to be entirely outside of everything. Yet even the very act of being entails entrapment within existence. In other words, there is always a context. Therefore, nothing in the universe truly disappears—because it cannot. Even when a person dies, their atoms persist. Their body returns to the soil. The energy released from them disperses into the air. And then, the animals, plants, and fruits that have grown from that soil are consumed, and the air—now mixed with that person’s energy—is breathed in. Thus, the person who has “died” also enters the bodies of these living beings. Afterward, the cycle repeats. There is only infinite change and transformation—but the “death” of anything or anyone, in the most biological sense, is not possible. Once born, a thing endures its existence forever.
