and now, on to other (greater?) things...

dead stars?

For most of a star's life, gravity and pressure balance each other exactly, and so the star is stable. However, when a star runs out of nuclear fuel, gravity gets the upper hand and the material in the core is compressed even further. The more massive the core of the star, the greater the force of gravity that compresses the material, collapsing it under its own weight.

-Science Background

stars on their own, science tells us eventually become black holes. nothing more but a shade of their former glorious self.
you know what i think? anything in this world, tangible or not, whether it be a great or terrible kind of beauty, as long as it feeds on itself or has the wrong kind of reason will eventually, "shine and burn" itself out.

what am i trying to say? go read between the lines and figure. if you can, that is. :)
