50 yrs from now who will care?
When you think you are indispensible and think you're so important today, stick your fingerin a bucket of water pull it out and see how big a hole it makes? How important are we to anyone today?
What kind of impact have we made to each other or to the world around us? One generation grows and reaches its zenith then is replaced by another. Sports stars no doubt recognise this alot. Pop stars movie stars even the leaders of the world eventually fade into the mist of forgetfulness.
If you are a nobody a Jane or Joe average the only impact you might make is immediate family and a few friends. Yet, even the smallest contribution could make a difference in someone's life. It boils down since most of us are middle aged and maybe only have about 30 yrs left to shine until
we go gently into that good nite the question is how do we want to spend that time? I know for me writing useless blogs here and offering my two cents is not so rewarding. Perhaps its the audience or the subject matter? How knows? 50 yrs from now assuming I live for another 20 some odd years and if this site is still active or we have not ruined ourselves with nukes it would be interesting to know if all this bs we write will have an impact to teach the generation after us.
Time waits for no one and it matters not how rich or poor smart or stupid we are it catches up to us and we all will be returning to the dust we came from.
Most of our markers like the millions who passed before us since the dawn of time will not have much to say but that we were here. We may not be considered as vain as the pharoahs of Egypt but we often we seek recognition for something.
The key is doing something worthy of recoginition without seeking it. Being humble giving respect
when properly due offering healing and compassion and the love we recieve should be measured by the love we give.
Consider all thought and action reach to the heavens and I would like to believe there are angels
everywhere here on earth and in heaven and even on CS observing and learning and guiding us to our greatest potential. If we want to make an impact 50 yrs from now that may reshape humanity later start impacting now. Make it count today for tomortow is not guaranteed.
We can ask who will care later for today is all we have but do consider what you say or do today will shape the perception of the generation after. How do we want to be remembered by the generation after?

...in 50 years.
Reminds me, I may repost my ole blog story, "Origin of the F word"

Akeldama,
Yes, we all only have so much time, so we have to enjoy, prosper and make the best of everything while we can.
See the aftermath of 21st century man. Maybe we
Should all just keep living for the moment, that's all there
Is!
.... Can you possibly post a comment without mentioning
'baby boomers' (whatever they are), do you work for a
Nappy factory or something?
Anyway, if the hard times of tomorrow don't trigger some sort of spiritual awakening where pride in your own people overcomes all obstacles and leads to a future of equality and justice, then we can always draw up a list of the 50 most powerful people and pick them off, then draw up another 50 and another 50 until the message sinks in that it's more dangerous to wrong the masses of humanity than it is to do right by them. Donald Trump wants to hold all people on earth under the sword of damocles so why don't we dangle that sword over his head? Why? Because we're too afraid of dying.
The masses must conquer fear for the first time in their lifetime and the elite must be made to feel fear for the first time in theirs. Do this and we will raise western civilisation from the depths of baby boomer decay into the achievements of the future.
available called 'Oranjeboom', it's Dutch for 'orange tree' apparently!
Very sad indeed!
Your star Trek reference should read..."boldly going to where no sane person would want to go"
This is not the first time something like this has happened to me. People from the past would reappear and remind me of things I said/did/wrote that meant a lot to them at the time, although I completely forgot about them. And I also remember many people and their words/things they did in the similar manner.
Our words are also energy that stays behind and - who knows - maybe helps someone sometimes somewhere.
We exchange energy with each other all the time and sometimes something small for us, can be a very big thing for someone else.
After all, each moment in time is the full experience of the existence itself. There are no small moments.
