Life may be short, moments encountered may be transient and time may be ticking away faster than we know, but in many ways it doesn't matter - we all live on longer than our physical existence - some more than others - and here's how.
We live on in the memories of those we shared good times with and those who are grateful to us for standing by them in bad times. We live on in quirky little gestures, habits and phrases unwittingly picked up by our children who have watched us, heard us and copied us since they were wee toddlers and in the genetic cocktail we have passed on to them, weak or strong. We live on in the good turns we did others that perhaps changed their lives in some little or big way. We live on in tiny little good deeds that snowball and flourish and breed more and more prosperity for those who need it. We live on in words we write down that touch a chord with someone reading ages after we are no more.
If you think about it, there are so many ways to live on. Everyone single one of us can have a legacy to pass on, all it matters is how we choose to live our life here and now.
