What Legacy Will You Leave Behind?

I find it hard to argue with his contention that the Industrial Revolution changed humans in a sociological way that is at least partially incompatible with overall happiness. Our means of providing for ourselves materially are becoming more and more artificial, leaving us desperate for hobbies and recreational pursuits to give us that sense of accomplishment which was historically received from their vocation. It's a compelling theory for why clinical depression is most often observed in first-world populaces and not where life is hardest.

wow! just when I think you've lost your mind you come up with a great and important point.(even if it was somebody elses originally)

I've thought about this more Wally and I've come to the conclusion that my legacy is going to suck. The end.

a burning hole in the ground somewhere

Leading by example and helping one who wants to be helped, would be my greatest legacy.

This subject has been on my mind somewhat recently, although I do not think the term "legacy" is relevant to my thoughts. I am an idealist when it comes to how I approach things in my life. Whether it be the most simple task of returning the grocery cart to the store so somebody else doesn't have to do it, I was raised to "do right" and help others whenever possible. I have strayed from this mantra in the past and have regrets, but will never look back and hope to learn from my mistakes.

Most of the important things to me will never be noticed by another soul, but as long as I am happy with myself then that is all that matters. If I were to die today, all I want is the people closest to me to come to my funeral and be able to say that I was a good man. Somebody that could always be relied upon whatever the circumstances.

Wasn't sure if I had posted in here already or not so searched to see what I posted. Amazing how things change. All I care about anymore is my family. I don't care what anybody else thinks anymore because I know that I'm a good father and husband. Family is the only thing that matters to me anymore. When I do things that others don't, I want my kids to understand why so they can make up their minds if they want to do the same. Kids and a good wife change everything. I haven't changed how I operate in doing what I was raised to believe as doing right, but I no longer care how others see me.

I hope you haven't joined the mob or are sending goons to beat up gamblers McRoofballs.
I don't think caring for family justifies that
