    I thought about this a lot and I’m pretty burnt out at all the horrible shit I’ve seen so I don’t really fear death but like everyone else I obviously don’t want it to be horrible. That being said as an agnostic I think that living a life where you do your best to be a good person is a more powerful legacy than you realize. Billions of people caring about eachother and doing their best makes a huge impact on the future. Sure we have fun learning about those who had impressive monuments built in their name or were leaders in some kind of movement but progress is multilateral and made from a million failures before a success. good or bad history was created by billions of unknowns and that is what really made up history and culture. We really have the power collectively to shape the future not as much with individualism unless you were born into privilege but with working diligently everyday to reinforce your values. Just make your little piece of the world better everyday and it will make a difference over time
