What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

  1. However, I would like to share my ideas about why legacies don’t matter from the first person’s viewpoint.
  2. Most of the people who imagine impact of legacies on their descendants or generations that follow believe that they’ll somehow be ( indirectly ) present to experience this impact. And it will cause them pleasure or pain via some invisible connection.
  3. They imagine that impact based on the model of glowing legacies of the worlds they inhabit, though they forget that the impacts of those legacies are not being experienced by those who left them behind.
  4. There’s no logical sense in longing for leaving a legacy or having an impact which is witnessed by some imaginary agents in an imaginary future.
  5. If I am a nobody now, let me be content with it; let there be a complete acceptance of the fact rather than longing for a legacy.
  6. Most of the people who believe in legacies are also the people who believe in either eternal recurrence or reincarnation.
  7. They’re also the people who think and talk like this:
  8. “Think about leaving a better Earth for future generations.”
  9. Why? Maybe because you would be asked by an entity in the afterlife about what you did or didn’t?
  10. It’s all make-believe.
