If you died tomorrow, what would you have brought to the world? How have you made a difference?
I, for one, while I don't particularly want to talk about how I feel I have made a difference, I guess I must, because no-one but me will write here. I feel I have made a difference, not a big one, for example, I didn't save the lives of 40 children in a fire. I have, however, saved lives.
I say this with all intention of not coming across as arrogant and egotistic, I just feel that if I was to die tomorrow, I can be happy that I have made a difference. In the grand scheme of things, I haven't blown the mast, I haven't overloaded the water pumps, heck, I haven't even scratched the hull.. But, I have granted the happiness of alot of people, and the future happiness of much much more.
I don't know why I'm typing this, I'm not going to post the fact that I have a new blog post on Twitter or Facebook, I don't think anyone would really like to see me talk about me and "the good I have done". I just want to ask you, the nonexistent reader, how have you made a difference? And to also stress the importance of happiness.
To make someone upset, to the extent of crying, or long lasting effects, is not to just affect one person. It is to affect the parents, the siblings, the friends, the (boy/girl)friend, the schoolwork, you affect everything about that person. You destroy that person's opportunities, their dreams, ambitions, you do so much more than make them cry.
Albeit, insulting doesn't lead to this, but the amount of people that are bullied, and hurt..It's this kind of thing that makes me wonder about humans, whether or not they are innately good or evil. I would argue that children are a blank canvas, and become who their parents and surroundings make them become, but one has to wonder, are humans so stupid that they can't refrain from insulting, or hurting others?
In final, I'd like to say that I'm not distancing myself, I have hurt much more people profoundly than the majority of humans have, I'm talking about humanity as a whole, and how it can't help but will ill on itself.
