Question: Does the life and influence put into things decrease with the passing of time. Answer: Its life is according to the intensity of the feeling. A note resounds according to the intensity with which you strike it. You may strike a note on the piano and it will continue to resound for so long. If you strike it with less intensity it resounds for a shorter time. But it is at the same time according to the strength with which you strike it and according to the instrument on which you strike. There may be one instrument the string of which will continue to vibrate for a very long time, and there may be another instrument whose string will vibrate for not very long, and then will quiet down. So it is also according to the medium which you take in striking vibrations that the effect is made.
