What have you accomplished? What will be your legacy on Earth?
Years ago about the time the Space Shuttle Program was shutdown one of my co-workers talked to me about his feelings that his legacy was not as great as he had hoped. He was a husband, father, never divorced, very straight but had climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and mountains in Tibet and is a champion board game player. He also made contributions to the success of the Space Shuttle Program. A God fearing believer in Jesus but he still felt like he should have accomplished more. I don't think he ever did much of anything personally to help someone down on their luck.
What trigger me to write this post is something someone posted here.
"I figger libs live by virtue signaling, not what they accomplish. Conservatives give to functioning charities, Liberals give to radical politicians"
I think the member "figgers" wrong. Yes, many rich "libs" live by virtue signaling but many more "libs" walk the talk. If a conservative gives to a functioning charity, it is probably a liberal on the other end delivering services and doing the real work of making that charity make a difference.
I had a liberal Christian dentist who took his vacation every year in Belize. He and his crew brought cases of sneakers and clothes to the poor people in Belize and the fixed poor peoples teeth while on vacation.

I don't know if these people performing national service are liberal or conservative and it does not matter. What matters is they make a difference.
Peace Corps, same deal but you can bet most of them are "libs"
What is your legacy?

What have you accomplished? What will be your legacy on Earth?
I am raising two boys with my wife—in a third-world country where their prospects are poor for early success in life—to be good men: independent, self-actualized and critical thinkers in a Marxist culture in which they will soon find themselves in. I expect they will not be out in the streets with the rest of the idiots demanding more of someone else’s money through our totally corrupt government.
It’s not easy to raise real men in the USA anymore, but someone has to step up and whip their minds and behinds into shape. And I can do it on top of working six days a week. They are the future. They learn from their father in the present. They will be as prepared as any young man can be when they strike out on their own.
