1ºWell, that's what happens to people who live right next to the ocean.
I get that it's "beautiful", but with the good comes the bad. Just the same as the people who live a street over from an active volcano, and then wonder "Why is their lava flowing through the living room".

The Earth and Moon will not always be in their "perfect orbit"; and as time passes, things change. Every year, the Moon gets 3.78cm further away from Earth. Now that's not a lot if you take a decade into account. But it adds up over time, and that movement causes drastic changes to Earth.

And eventually, the Moon will be no more. Just as every year, the Earth and Sun get 1.5cm further apart. However, due to Earth having an atmosphere and Climate; Earth won't gradually just get cooler; it will all depend on the chemicals that make up our atmosphere which trap the heat. But eventually, the Sun will reverse, expand, and swallow Earth up.

Point being; everything around us is constantly changing, albeit slowly, nothing will stay the same forever.
