A commenter on another blog seems to answer every question with "Planned Obsolescence".
But he may be correct (more often than not).
We humans are the best example of the practice.
How long were Adam and Eve in the Garden before they partook of the forbidden fruit?
A week? A month? A year? A million years?
If time didn't exist (not just time that is broken by days and nights or hours and minutes - but continuing forever) - who knows?
Maybe they grew tired of the day-in/day-out perfection of the Garden.
Maybe they sensed (or were told of) something more.
Maybe they realized that even in a state of perfection - life without death and meaning becomes pointless.
Even though those in power (or in their comfort zones) seek to retain such power or comfort - a static being is not natural.
Even if the Universe (or Universes) repeat(s) it's (or their) cycles of beginning and end, and it's expansion and contraction (like a comic act of breathing) billions and billions of times in the same order every time... being static is not the natural state of being.
Everything is intended to ultimately fail or decompose.
Isn't decomposition the natural order that we are in a constant battle to defeat?
If so, are we any different than the Replicants, Pris and Roy Batty, in our quest to discover the answer to eternal life from the mouth of the Creator?
Maybe we (like all things created) are meant to fail.
