Do you remember your great great great grandfather or grandmother?
No?
Do you have a living relative who remembers them?
If not, do you have your pictures or any writing from them or anything else that would tell you, remind you of who they were?
Still no?
Then did they actually exist?
Of course! If they didn’t, you would not be here right?
So how come nobody has any information about them?
That’s what I call the second death. When the last living person that remembered them passes away or The last artifact evidencing their existence vanishes.
I’m sorry to break it to you, but chances are that You will be forgotten as well.
What if you want to be remembered?
What if you want your life to matter?
Is there anything that’s in your hand that you can do?
Absolutely!
Make a lasting impact. Make your mark on this world or someone in this world. The more effort you put into helping others, helping the world and making your impact, the greater the chances that you will be remembered and that your life will matter to the generations to come.
