Well this is all getting very deep isn't it?
I don't believe in god, never have. I do however believe that it is the memory we leave behind that matters nothing else.
If we have tried to do good in our lives, maybe not managed all of the time, but never knowingly set out to do harm.
If, when others talk about us they tend to say more good things than bad.
If our memories make others smile.
If the people we leave behind are genuinly sad that we have left them
Then surely we have made the world a better place.
My grandad and grandma were/are the most important people in my life. When my grandad passed away I can honestly say that the world was a worse place for me and for all of those whose life he touched. He could not have been or felt any more loved. I can and still do cry for him. My grandma and I talk about him almost every day and whilst he was no saint, he was the goodest person I have ever known and his reward for this is his lasting memory.
Yes we are always striving to do more or do better Marelli I think its human nature but what more can we do that love and be loved? It isn't about what you do, how much you earn, how big your house is. It is all about the good memory that we leave behind. I stopped asking myself "what I was for?" a long time ago as the list got too long and it was wearing me out.
