i was reading emails and blogs today.
and i found a line i really like. hmmmmmm
"Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And some ask ourselves: Will our actions echo across the centuries?
Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?"
and i can't help but smile.
i wonder.
we all need to leave something behind when we're finally gone.
in our soul of souls, in our heart of hearts, we know that we long to be remembered long after we are gone. it's the only way we get to believe that our life is not just some passing breeze.
...that we are not living, just because we have to.
we want to believe that we are watched... so that even after we're gone, we remain... be it in someone's memory, or in somebody's heart.
i wonder.
what would i like to be remembered for?
hmmmm.
and i'm smiling now because i think i know my answer to that question.
