- akk0 19d agoI feel like the thing eroding away in this case is a blocker, a friction. Think of a river cutting a path through the mountains.
- sim04ful 19d agoYup, picked that wording to evoke this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_arch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_arch
- sa46 18d agoWeather is fun choice since it’s a contronym. It has opposing definitions: to endure and to erode. “He weathered the storm” vs “the stone weathered into an arch”.
- cronin101 17d agoReally (in your example) the timeframe is the only difference. You can endure as long as you want to, but we're all going to erode eventually.
