How to use «Ever» in context?
Ever since humanity has walked the earth, it has been fascinated by the concept of ever. People have wondered about the meaning of ever and what it means for the future. There are many different interpretations of ever, but at its core, it is a concept that captures the idea that something will never change. There is a feeling of permanence that comes from ever, and it lends a sense of calm to the universe.
When we think about the future, we often imagine what it will be like. But let’s face it, the future is always changing. We can never predict the exact details, but we can try to predict the general trend.
