How would you want to remember me?
Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm
Would it be fine if I’m remembered as the person that caused a lot of heartache everywhere he went?
Or not?

Would you be offended if you did remember me during those times of peace and harvest around the village, as the person that destroyed it all and left you to pick up the crumbs?
Many people will testify that I’m that one person that saved them from doing something they would regret their whole lives
Would you want to remember me that way?

Do I want to be remembered as the person that stood up to injustice and to be the heard voice of others whose voices were oppressed and suppressed?
Do I want to be remembered as the one person that stared in the future and saw so much potential in the young people around her and chose to do something about harnessing that potential?
Do you want to be remembered as the person that outshined the world on the global sports arena and retired with over 30 Olympics golds?

The encourager to…..
To the needy
To the homeless
The sick and worn out
To the banished
Would you want to be remembered in this honour?
It’s not for everyone, you know, right?

Even when the times get better than they are now
Will you remember me?
Who used to move with you, like a tick moves with a cow, on it’s skin
The one person who shared a blanket with you, when we both had nothing but an answer-sheet for a mattress?
The one person you sent to the battle-ground at the canteen, to scrum for your chapattis and samosas
The one person who you told everything that was happening at home
The one person that always knew your mood, at an instant, of looking at you

People now a days remember a single mistake you’ve done than your good deeds. A single mistake can ruin your life even if you are kind as a person! Life is unfair sometimes!
Hhhhhhmmmmmm….
I believe it’s been this way, from time immemorial, don’t you agree?
You’ve the opportunity to change all that, Beyonzy,

Your writing style is so unique and beautiful. I think all the time about how I will be remembered when I’m gone – hopefully all good things!
Aaaahhhhhh….thank you, Courtney, for appreciating. I do that all the time, as well.
This made me think and felt a bit sad. There’s a lot I want to do but will people – most especially those who are close to me, will they even remember me when I’m gone ?
Aaawwwww…..I know that feeling. It can be dreadful, at times. If I may say this, just do what you want to do. That will be remembered of you, one way or the other, yyeeaahhh?
You have reminded me to be kind always. I guess only being kind to others, we will get the ultimate happiness. Actually I don’t mind people remember me as what but I think I need to be kind to others, be it human, animals and nature!
Aaaaahhhhhh….good point you have there! Thank you for sharing. ??
This is beautiful and poetic, straight from the heart. Thank You for inspiring me today. I will meditate on this! ??☺️ Xo Evelyn, PathofPresence ?

I believe that first impressions are so important and its vital that we treat others with kindness because we would expect the same treatment in return. I always try and be kind to others for this exact reason.

I want to be remembered for not compromising my integrity” wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it,and right is right even if no one is doing”. And considering the interests of others not being self centred
Aaaahhhh…wow! This goes without say, you need a huge ovation, Lauben.

Important post! It’s necessary to step back and see ourselves through the eyes of others, not to be influenced by their thoughts, but to be aware of the consequences of our actions.
👏👏👏👏
This is thought provoking. Forces you to think about what legacy you want to create and leave behind.
😍😍 thank you
