This morning, I was asked a very strange question... Posted by gingersoaplovin , May 27, 2011 at 9:20 AM, in Labels: Epiphanys

"What do you want to be remembered for?"

I do not want to be remembered for anything, let alone remembered.  I think people need to stop trying so persistently just to be remembered.  Remembered by who, a bunch of people you don't even know and probably never will?  If people stopped trying so hard to be remembered, or make their insane mark on the world--then maybe they'd be happier, heck maybe they'd be a little more selfless as well!  What does being remembered even consist of?

Once you're dead, will it even matter who remembers you 50 years from now?  No.  All that matters is that you did not only what made you happy, and did things to help others along in life as well.  So why do people try so hard to be well known and have lots of power and influence over people?  I really don't understand it..
