The Only Thing left Behind

Greetings to you lovely people. My post today will focus on "the only thing left behind". The world has host great people, famous, and popular. As years passes, there are new ones coming up and replacing others who came first. This is how the world continues till the end will come. But the question is what have they left behind?

Yes, you were famous, popular, and great and people knew, what have you left behind? You can remember Nelson Mandela today because you have read about him and his works. You can recall Martin Luther king Jr today because of his works on books and what you have read about him. What about Adolf Hiller, Church Hill. In fact, you know a lot of great and famous people in the political systems, technological world, and religious systems. Have you ever seen them but you have met with them, robbed shoulders with them, apply principles laid down by them. This has been possible because you read their works on books. Even, the greatest man ever lived that the world considered today, this man is known only through writings.

This great and famous people had cars ( all kinds of models), they built mansions, and owned many business companies. None of this things has never lived to retell their histories, works, and how famous and valiant they have been in the world.

It seems that when you are famous and dead, if there is no record or works done by you in a book somewhere, that is all about you. Your loyal followers will forget about your existence a year after your demised. Your children will forget about your story and start telling theirs. So when you die, why is it that your cars cannot go from door to door telling the new generations that you existed? Why are your houses not doing this? Why not your many business companies? Why not even your children? It is because you are gone. And many decade will pass, even your name, face in your own family will be forgotten. But your works done on books will remember you decade after decades.

Your writings will tell generations after generations about your greatness. But if you will be unfortunate, you will likely and willingly join those who have made this mistake and are gone. The history is still unfolding, are you a great man/woman, only your writings will you leave behind to retell your story.

Thanks for reading.

Life is such that one will only be remembered by what he has done. Mandela, Martin Luther king Jr etc wrote their names on the sand of time and we do remember that for what they left behind...
The baton was passed on, I will not be left out. Thanks for the write up Sir
