Is it important to you that you leave a mark on the world?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) February 11th, 2022 from iPhone

That there is some record of you? An accomplishment, something you created? Some of your wisdom? Something?

If you have children do your children provide this for you? Do you think of them as the continuation of your life? Or, is it important to you as an individual for the future generations to know you?

If you don’t have children how does that affect your thought process?

Do you want your name on something material? Like a building or a book or something that might be lasting and physical?

It doesn’t need to be anything I mentioned, but I’m interested in how you think about what you want to leave behind when you’re gone and any sort of acknowledgment that you existed.
