From the Twisted Mind of Starcrush
Crap that happens, thoughts I have, and some random stories (maybe)
Wow! Another thought!
What is it about humans that makes us try so hard to be remembered. We spend so much time and money on things like year books, journals, even blogs. It is our nature to want people we will never know to know that we once were. We have this uncontrollable urge to make sure that someone, somewhere, knows that we existed. We fear being forgotten more than we fear dying. Why? Why should we care about leaving some kind of legacy for a far off generation? Why do so many people, including myself, worry so much about the future, that we forget about what's important? Why do we forget about the present?

    I have several believes on this thing myself, being as I myself fear being forgotten more then dying.

    We forget about the present because it is where we are. Where we are does not matter. Where we are can usually be handled. Where we are is not where people right this day know we are.

    I think we invest so much time in this like that in that hope that we will some how, in some way, be remembered for something. Anything. Human natures wants attention to be drawn to us. Even if we are dead, if people still know who we were and what we did, it draws atention to us and makes our present self seem just a little bit better.
