Why is there a lower bound for cold?

Can you define absolute zero? I think that would help you to answer
your own question.

Surely temperature is (denotes) the RATE at which a system can GIVE UP
ENERGY. It may not only be a factor of the kinetic energy of the
individual particles which make up the system, but also of their
relationship to each other. A certain number of molecules may each
have their individual energies, but the 'temperature' of the system
would increase if they were in closer proximity to each other.
