What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
To be honest, I don’t want to leave any legacy behind. I just want to live my life and leave when it’s destined. Nobody remembers you after a certain point. People may remember you for one, two, or three generations. After that, nobody is concerned with or interested in knowing about you. How many generations of your own do you remember or anybody else unless they become part of history? But it’s you who remember them, they don’t care.
The world is a place to experience life. Do whatever good you can by helping people, because doing so brings peace. When you can be of use to others and make them happy, that’s where true meaning lies. People might argue, “What are you doing for yourself if you’re always doing for others?” But helping others, in a way, makes you feel like you’re doing something meaningful.
In a world where so many people struggle for basic food and water, I might be enjoying pizza. However, that doesn’t make me happy. Luxury and non-essential experiences are fleeting—they don’t last forever. They’re transient and bring joy for only a very short period.
You begin to feel the purpose of life differs from what most people are chasing. This realization comes when you think about your own existence. You ponder the existence of others, whether people or creatures, including animals. Everyone has to leave one day. Does anyone truly have control over their time on this planet? Can anyone stop death?
Each one of us is here for a limited time. But this is also the truth: as long as you’re on this planet, you have to do something. Doing anything sustains your life. In order to do so, you must arrange means for yourself—be it food, shelter, or basic necessities. You work for that. Otherwise, you’re left on your own. It becomes your responsibility to sustain your life and body to experience the world and the things around you.
