The Answer is Probably Nothing
Some things are hurrying into existence, and others are hurrying out of it; and of that which is coming into existence, part is already extinguished. Motions and changes are continually renewing the world, just as the uninterrupted course of time is always renewing the infinite duration of ages. In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things that hurry by on which a man would set a high price?
Aurelius, Marcus translated by Long, George. Meditations. New York: Dover Thrift Edition, 1997, 39.
