Legacy

I think quite a bit about what I may end up being remembered for one day. I remember early on when I had first become an atheist, I had decided that since there was no afterlife waiting for me on the other side of it all that what was most important in my life was securing my place in the history books. If I wanted to live on after I died than I was going to have to do it through the pages of history. I decided then and there that I had to secure a good "memory" of myself after I died. I don't feel exactly the same anymore though. I care less about being remembered than I did in the beginning. What matters to me now is that I spend my life continuously evolving. I believe that there is always a next level, to anything, and that there are no finite endings besides the ones we assign ourselves. There is unending depth and complexity in the composition of nature and I'll spend my entire life figuring it out. I don't know what I want to be remembered for at this point besides that I didn't care to be remembered at all.
