We Will Be Unremembered! Ain't it GREAT!!
Disclaimer: Please, Ken Zurski, don't sue me for putting an image of your fabulous book on my blog! It's only to emphasize the word unremembered. Anything written in my blog would never ever come close to your brilliant book! So please unremember this particular blog posting if it causes any consternation. Thank you!!
Let's faze it, no matter how wonderful we think we are, 99.9% of all of us will be unremembered in 1000 years. For some, in 100 years, we will be outta sight, outta mind. For me, personally, I'm guessing 2 days, TOPS!
I know this sounds like bad gnus, but it's just the opposite!
Since we are gonna be totally forgotten, we need not worry so much about how we are "expected" to behave!
Here are a few examples.
You get caught picking your nose on the Jumbotron at a nationally televised bazeball game!
No probleemo! Will anyone remember it in 3019? Heck no! Except maybe on Ancient America's Funniest Videos.
You bend over to pick up the pen you dropped at the most important meeting of the year, with ALL the big wigs in attendance, and you "rip one off," AND split your pants at the same time!
In a hundred years, everyone who witnessed this will be deader than door knobs (I know it's deader than door NAILS, but door nails are pretty much obsolete), unless the life expectancy has gradually lengthened to 250 years in 2119, and the big wigs are STILL laughing about it on the golf course!
Hey! But in a 1000 years, it will be over!! Unless the life expec....never mind.
Things like, "I wore the wrong thing to this or that gathering..." or, "I didn't use the proper fork to eat my salad..." or, "I was arrested for transporting drugs over state lines, while driving drunk, with a kidnap victim in my trunk...," will all be the kinds of offences folks will completely erase from their memory banks in a billion years! And I'm fairly confident that the life expectancy will not increase to over a billion years!!
My point is NOT to do anything you want, because nobody will know or care about it in the future, but to remember we are all human, and we need not stress ourselves to death over things that will one day fade away into nothingness.
Am I making sense? If so, let me know!!
Here is another positive note!
If you believe in God's promises of forgiveness, redemption and eternal life you're way ahead of the game, and REMEMBERED by Jesus Christ!
That is not only WAY COOL, but "THE WAY" COOL!!!
