"Nothing lasts forever." "All good things must come to an end." "This too shall pass." These are only a few of the axioms that define life as we know it. Everything is transient. It has its time and then moves on. Even the Roman empire, which at its height, probably thought it would last forever, finally fell -- in the west, to Germanic mercenaries in 476, and in the east, to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. This was an empire once thought invincible, stretching at its height under Trajan from England to Turkey, encompassing most of Europe as well as parts of Asia and Africa.
