to give you the opportunity to make your efforts known, so when you die you won't fade into obscurity like 99% of those who have lived

i don't know what in this world is tryin' to save me
but i can feel it's hand it's guiding me in sign
from the lives i've tried to lead
to the one that i've received
each painted sign along the road
will melt away in source tags and in code

I don't care if I my efforts go unrecognized while I am here.

I don't care if I fade into obscurity when I am dead.

wait, so you're saying that 99% of the poeple who ever lived really weren't worth living at all?

what IS the point if that's true? I think that's dumb. and a very self oriented way to look at life.

MY spirit is too weak--mortality
Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep
And each imagin'd pinnacle and steep
Of godlike hardship, tells me I must die
Like a sick Eagle looking at the sky.
Yet tis a gentle luxury to weep
That I have not the cloudy winds to sweep
Fresh for the opening of the morning's eye.
Such dim-conceived glories of the brain
Bring round the heart an indescribable feud;
So do these wonders a most dizzy pain,
Which mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude
Wasting of old Time--with a billowy main--
A sun--a shadow of a magnitude.

yes, it is very self-orientated

however

my entire point was that life (in my eyes anyway) is about having a positive effect on as many people as one can. granted, i've set my sights pretty high, so consider it as dumb as you'd like

it's not immature to think that life is about gaining immortality

it is possible to have a positive effect on people without making your efforts known or fading into obscurity.

if i misinterpretted your words, i apologize.

either way, what you do with your life doesn't concern me. do whatever it is you want to do.

yes

it's been established that i too don't care about what people choose to do with their lives

seeing how affected i am by certain things (the arts, generally), i want to be that for other people, on as wide a scale as possible

go on living in your grumpy hole
