Take it from me we never know what is in our future. We make plans and say we will do this or that but in reality we are not in charge of tomorrow. We are only in charge of the right now but even though we are not in charge of the future what we do right now changes the future forever. Keep in mind that when you are conducting yourself in the everyday world you never know who is watching and filing away your actions. It could be a co worker, your spouse, or your child or a complete stranger.
So you may say "so what I don't care" but what you fail to realize is that all of this could have tremendous consequences in the future that we have no control over. So what you say and what you do need to be thought through. For me I have let my mouth override my common sense several times so how has this affected my life. Well I'm really not for sure and neither are you. What you say and do now far exceed your lifetime. In a sense you will effect the world forever. You don't have to be remembered to affect the world. It's not a requirement.
What your great great great grandparents did still effects your life to this day, you are a product of your past. The simple fact that you are here is one way that there decisions have forever changed the world. Where you live, what your parents are like, you're moral and religious traditions all steam from decisions that they made. You might say, my parents didn't go to church and I do so they had nothing to do with that. I bet if you think about it they have some kind of negative or positive influence that helped you make your decision.
Not only that but who influenced you to go to church in the first place. Who's actions affected you and therefore the world forever. It's really a beautiful thing if you think about it. Nobody will ever be forgotten not in name but in action. We do count and we do make a difference. Maybe you didn't invent the computer but maybe your great great granddaughter will invent a world saving cure and therefor your greatness will be cemented by your actions today. Be a positive force and great things will happen in your life time and beyond. Or as Buzz would say to infinity and beyond.
