That's the sad thing about living. If you don't do anything special for the society, you'll probably just be forgotten. Very few people of those billions who've walked this planet are remembered. Unless you write songs or make paintings, kill a bunch of people, or become the first president in Norway, you'll only be remembered as one of many homo sapiens sapiens, which will be a topic in a history book in some thousand years. However, who do we acutally live for: our selves or others? And you won't notice if you're remembered or not after your death; you're dead. Damn, now you made me pensive too!
