In a Thousand Years
In a thousand years, nobody will remember most of us. Well, actually, in the next one hundred years most of us will drop into obscurity and be forgotten. Our children’s children will barely think of us and when our children finally die we will die right along with them. If you don’t subscribe to the idea of an eternal life, does this idea haunt you? For me, I would rather have contributed something to humanity than to have been remembered by humanity. I am OK to be remembered only by my children and to have my memory die with them.
