From the moment you are born, to the moment which you draw
your last, how do you know if you really existed? Perhaps it is through the
memories of others? I think not, for like yourself, these memories will
eventually cease to exist and when they do, so will the only proof of your
existence. The only way to know that you had existed, even as the pages of
history turn, is when you make a difference. Don’t confuse this with leaving
behind your legacy, it is nothing so individualistic. It is about playing a
part in the live of another individual, however small, that as the tides of
history rush forward, your efforts have, at the very least, shifted the wave
ever so slightly that world will never be the same as if you were not to have
existed. Memories of you might fade, history might not remember you, but the
course of the world is not where it would have been if not for your existence.
