INFLUENCES
INFLUENCES
We influence more people than we know or that we could ever know, even those living centuries after our deaths. Influence is like those mysterious microwave background resonances left over from the "Big Bang." Each life and death, is too, akin to a Big Bang, being a big deal.
We read books written by people who are long dead. We view their art ; enjoy their music; worship their God; salute their flags; eat their foods; visit their structures; learn their arts and sciences; speak their languages; celebrate, or emulate their exploits; and most importantly, embrace their values.
We hear of exploits of people long dead. We all are descendants of people long dead, some dating back millions of years. Proof positive of our influence is us, are our offspring, our acts, our lives.
Never worry about your influence; just live, work, breath, and mate. The rest is all in the will of divinity.
