Week #15 - Lasting effect
I have always wondered, since I was a kid, why my family in China had shrines and many traditions that we would do every year during Chinese New Years to honor loved ones that have passed away, but I do wonder sometimes if I, myself, will be forgotten completely in a couple years after I pass away or will someone be there to preserve my memory. Leaving a big mark and impact on this world would be the only way for people to remember you once you have passed away and left behind a legacy. I don't really care if I´m forgotten, but I would like to do something one day that would be impactful enough to leave my mark on the world. Many people in history will never be forgotten such as political leaders, and some get forgotten too easily, but deserved far more to be remembered.
I think that´s one of the reasons I want to be an FBI agent so badly. Not that I want to be remembered, but to allow a chance for other people to be remembered. It would be pretty sad, to see and realize that your entire existence was forgotten like you never existed in the first place. However, I don't really think it´s a bad thing to be forgotten, nowadays people become famous for a lot of wrong things. Whether it be for past mistakes or current mistakes more people are infamous than famous, and if that´s the case, then I would much rather just be forgotten.
