What legacy would you like to leave?

Tweet

The Ancient Egyptians believed that you only continued to exist in the after life if your name was remembered, at the very list written down. We might not believe that today, some don't believe in an afterlife at all, yet the desire to be remembered still holds strong. We erect stones, mausoleums, statues and plaques in remembrance of people and their deeds. Some people are remembered for discovering new things; penicillin, electricity, the Americas. Some people are remembered for their inventions; the steam engine, the telephone, TNT. Some people are remembered for their hearts; Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr... or lack there of; Hitler, Genghis Kahn, Vlad Tepez. The list goes on and on... So, what will be your legacy? What will you do to keep your name alive? Write a book? Become an actor? Work for the emergency services? Maybe you just want to be remembered for being a good human being, nothing out of the ordinary? Or maybe you simply want your children, and your children's children to cherish your name? Or maybe you don't want to be remembered...?
