What is forever? How long does it last?

Question

people always say forever, but what does it mean? how long does it last? Nothing can possibly last forever everything changes like: love, feelings, physical appearances, happiness, hardships, even life doesn't last forever. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is why do people say forever if there is no such thing, and if there is such thing , then what?

Answer 1

If the soul for example last forever instead of saying that I don't believe in death I could say we live forever. Now I know the human body will change form but I am saying that the love I have for my family is not going to leave if someone dies.

Answer 2

Forever is only as long as memory serves it.  This means that 'forever' is only a marked notation of time served by the culture ascribing meaning to it.

Answer 3

Forever is forever and ever and ever and ever. Unmeasurable. Life on earth is not forever. Eternity is forever. If the sun was a giant diamond and a butterfly flew past it once every million years and brushed a wing against it. When the sun was worn to a nub the size of a tennis ball, eternity would have still not even started. Life does last forever, Just where you spend it is a scary part for most

Answer 4

Forever is just a word who's specifics depend on the individual using them.  Forever is a word applied to a concept, such as time or love, in an attempt to define or establish a meaning of never-ending.  By its literal definition, forever is less of a measurement of time rather than an affirmation of existing matter in the universe.  Forever is only valid so long as there is a physical mass whose existence it can apply to.  In OUR terms, forever depends on what an individual is describing.  If a man says he'll love his wife forever, truly he can only love her until his death.  Which, for him, may be 30-something years later.  Same goes if a 26-year old says it to his girlfriend, except HIS forever is different in quantity of time, since HE may have 60 more years to love her.  (Of course, teens never stay in love as long as they say they will, but the idea still applies).  So to us, forever is just a theory.  A concept or measurement of us conceiving something for as long as we can.

Answer 5

It's a lot further off than you (or any of us) need to worry about.

Forever is another way of describing infinity.
