Your impact in the world

You die and in 30days, 1 year, 10years from that point what is there left of you to this world as we know it? Will you be remembered and for what?? Will the life you had some way have made impact on others??

 

Most of my impacts have already faded from erosion.

 

i would assume the work we have done on the land to make it a sustainable place for humans to live..

i would like to think when we are dead and gone someone will appreciate all the effort,thought,care and love that has gone into making this place what it is..

 

you need to gain weight stinkfoot; one of my craters was wrongly credited as having come from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs...



anyway, i plan on being preserved in a glass box like lenin, so all of me will be left for the world to admire forever.

 

very few people in this world leave any real impact or legacy. if you're lucky you'll be remembered for one or two generations after you pass. your name may survive on some paper for longer.

but in general, its mostly the heroes and the monsters who are actually remembered, with a handful of thinkers and inventors tossed into the mix, but less of these.

 

i guess i consider myself lucky: i have no desire for immortality, and don't really care if people remember me for long.

 

<----- no impact whatsoever :cheers2:

 

Yea....ever considered about considering that ideology as both fortunate and unfortunate rather than just lucky or unlucky though?

You make your opinions based on your own thought, so it's not really luck, more of a circumstantial (surroundings...so perhaps a bit of some form of "luck") and opinion based stance. Fortunate in a sense that you're not really being completely "duped" into a falsely conceived/constructed reality, but unfortunate because there's some degree of less "comfort" involved in not knowing (blissful ignorance perhaps?...not really 100% sure).

I only say this, because I have the same general stance towards the question as you.

 

I want to leave the biggest carbon footprint I possibly can...

 

man that didnt make a bit of sense

fortunate and lucky are synonyms.

lucky is benefitting by means of luck - that is, outside of your control.

fortunate is benefitting by means of fortune - which is the same as luck.

connatations may differ, but the meaning in a literal sense is virtually identical.

and yes my opinion is constructed by my brain. my brain is a result of its own physical form, its chemical makeup, and all of this is altered by experience. what i think and do is a product of my brain. the mind is an illusion, giving us a sense of control, but really there is little of this. just a thought....

 

Right now, my head hurts so I really couldn't give a toss if I'm remembered or not. I've still got life in me.

 

I hope to leave no foot prints....

 

LANGUAGE!:toetap05:

feel better. eat some tasty food, drink some water, maybe lay down for a bit. take a little naproxen or something

 

I'm sorry.
I don't give a fuck.

I came home from school, ate some cereal, fell asleep for two hours. Got up, ate dinner, drank water. Hung around for a bit, then came here. I'm probably going to sleep in a bit. Goin' to London tomorrow.

 

I'm thinking someone flunked out of their 12th grade english class

if you can get a little drink of something of a spirited nature, just a little, it might help your head a bit and help you sleep better, if its really bothering you.

are you doing anything fun in london?
