Do all good things come to and end?

Recently certain events have happened in my life, which have made me question something that has plagued the minds of many people for years then there are to count. This question is, do all good things come to an end, and as I was pondering this thought I have to be honest with you ladies and gents it scared the living day light out of me. The reason why I ask this question is because fortunately enough for me something wonderful has entered my life which I almost lost, due to my own stupidity, it made me think is this the reason why people refuse to enter a relationship with a special someone, and is this the reason behind why we keep things that we cherish so close to ourselves or some place we know that they will be protected, because we fear that it must end? Unfortunately for me I am a bit of a pessimist and a realist and I know that life throws its unexpected little surprises at everyone and it throws us of and most of the time it ruins something that we consider to be ‘good’ in pur lives. My something wonderful is not only good but it is flawless, not perfect, but its slight imperfections are a part and parcel of it and they are so small it makes it worth dealing with to have this something wonderful, I don’t want to lose it, but will I? This thought truly stirs the fear within me, yet at the same time I think of all the pleasantries in my life which have remained and become more precious to me due to life’s little unexpected obstacles. So I put my question out to my readers and the world, do you believe that all good things come to an end?

In the wider view, when you die everything good is going to stop... But I figure when you're dead, why worry! I don't believe all good things must come to an end. Why? Some things do and some things don't. The truly good things however, now those are here to stay! Call me optimistic, but that's what I reckon!

Hey, thanks for stopping by, feel free to swing by any time and share thoughts.

As for your question, I'm gonna go partly with san nakji's answer. Yes, all good things come to an end when you die, but correlating with that, other people die too. For example, my family is a good thing, specifically, each of my family members. When one of them dies, a good thing has come to an end for me. Now, I might argue that my memory remains, but that is a different good thing, so yes, good things come to an end.

Some good things come to an end, but not all. For example, when someone passes away in your family. Thats not comming to an end, as they will forever live in your hearts and you will meet again one day. We are on borrowed time here on earth, but the life you live up above is eternity.

As far as relationships, yeh some do end. But not all. If you want to make it work bad enough and you poor all your energy and heart into making it work, it never has to end. Im not saying it won't, but if there is a chance of enternal happyness, I say take it!

Yes. Everything changes, including your wants, needs, and desires, so what you consider a good thing changes as well, then you move on to something else, maybe better, maybe worse, until that changes too.

The trick in a relationship is to change together. That way your paths are overlapping and you change and build together.

As far as death, yes, that's a big change too. If you don't *experience* the changes in your life, then you have missed out. Anonymous' comment about life after death is only speculation, THIS is the only time you have.

We all know they do but in life we need to be mentally prepared for change, whether gradual or sudden or else we will really take things badly when the good things come to an end. What about the other side of the coin that bad things don't last forever? Whenever I run into a bad patch, I tell myself that that has to end and if it doesn't go away, I will do something about it. I learn that for me, life is about balance - some people are naturals, some have to aquire the skill to do so and some just never get it right and sometimes we need others to help us along. We win some and lose some in life but on balance, we are okay if we do not go to the extremes of right and wrong, good and bad, optimism and pessimism etc. I try not to worry about whether the good things will last but just savour every moment that it does. Interesing topic you have brought up and really got me thinking about some things that have been on my mind for some time. Cheers!

Yes everything will eventually come to an end. What kind of an end and when, now that's something that we can never know (until it happens of course). So you have to learn not to think about it. Because if you live your life waiting for things to end, you won't really enjoy them (believe me i made that mistake, and spent about 2 years locked indoors trying to avoid it all). The only thing you can do is enjoy what you have, while you have it... And whatever you do don't obsess over it, otherwise it will hurt soo much more when it does, Trust me on that.

Pineapple, In response to your question I can only say: don't set your expectations too high or you're bound to be disappointed. Love and life is a roller-coaster. Enjoy the ride but make sure your seat-belt is securely fastened. Your friend, Urkat

Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause and all good things do come to an end, but we must accept that fact and live each day one at a time. Ohh so many cliches, but so true. Don't be sad though, if one door closes another will open.

When a good thing is REALLY good some people worry that it will not last. By dwelling on this possibility they can actually hasten its ocurrancy. Others believe, because of a personality quirk or past experience, that it won't and it becomes self-fulfilling. Or they become afraid. Or they don't believe they deserve this happiness and go about sabbatoging what they have.

Brad's comment is right on if you are talking about a relationship with someone. Things will change in a relationship but that doesn't mean it has to come to an end. The good and honest relationship can survive and continue to be good, even though it may not look they way it did early on. It DOES have to be the right relationship with the right person for it to be worth the time, effort, and commitment it will take to keep it good and unending. But to know this takes TIME!

As Brad said, "The trick in a relationship is to change together. That way your paths are overlapping and you change and build together."
