Exactly! If you can't make and impact when you are alive, what difference will your life make when you are dead? In history, people are usually remembered for the tyrants they were, not the contributions they made for any longer than five minute after they die.

Most people lament of the tragedy that came to be, not how a person change and enriched their lives. Truth is people want to believe they are where they are at, because they are better than the rest and did it all themselves. They forget about those that helped build their lives, as soon as they have made to to where they are at. After that they want to be admired and looked up to as pillars of their community, weather they have helped anyone or not. It is hypocritical for them to worry about how others will remember them after they die. But, they gave great presentations professionally and nice dinner parties.
