Legacy. Even just the word is enough to to make its own sentence. Every person wants to leave a great legacy for his family to be proud and live up to. It makes us feel like we have accomplished something in life. It's almost as if we feel we have been heard in this world. What makes it so important to us? The feeling of worth and importance makes us feel wanted, needed, and special. We look at ourselves in the mirror and judge on a material basis. We forget about the things that truely matter. A man's legacy isn't judge by what he has but what he has done. Sometimes the older lady on the street that would even help her worst enemy has a great legacy more then most men. When you look at society MLK, Gandhi, and Mother Theresa are held high but not as high as some of these celebreties now a days. Where did we go wrong in our proirities of what makes a man great? Do we blame society or ourselves? We push ourselves to get our children to be great a doctor or lawyer, just something that makes money and that they can be financially secure in this world. We forget about the things that matter like a teacher. We forget about the ones the help us when we are down and in need of help. We forget about the ones the always gave us an ear when we needed to talk. We forget that these are the people that have the greatest legacy of all. We tell our children about these people and they tell their's. We tell them how much they affected our lives but we forget to tell our children thats how you should be. Almost as if we forget the importance of us telling them the story in the first place. So here is my point, legacy is the final statement that we leave this world as our worth for our time on this earth. You have the power to make it something of materialistic nature or someone that made a difference with other people.
Peace and Love,
