Answer 1

Of course!
They say: ''you may be only one person to the world, but for someone you maybe be the world''..
Don't you think that answers to your question?

Answer 2

Greatness may last a thousand years for a few and eternally for none. On the scale of earthly time, individual lives are but mere blinks of an eye. We're born, we live, we die and then you're not heard from ever again. There might be a tombstone or family tree made with your name on it, but eventually the tombstone weathers from age and who knows what media your family tree will be used. All the memories and accomplishments will be totally forgotten, unless you're a Hitler or Alexander the Great type person.

In a thousand years, your bones will be dust and no other trace of your existence will be seen, unless, of course you become fossilized for some reason, but even then, after thousands of years more, that will be disintegrated into dust. We influence the lives of our children and others, but they too will eventually die. So what's the point of living?

In astronomical terms, the Earth will eventually succumb to the supernova of our Sun, it's an astonomically certainty the earth will be burned to a crisp.

So does death render our lives meaningless. If we were immortal, that would be the ultimate in boredom, repetition, day after day, of doing the same thing for thousands of years (hundreds may be OK, but nothing beyond that)....but i digress, back to your question.

It all boils down to how creative we can be in the short period of time we have on this earth....Our activities need to be worthwhile for their own sake, not because they fulfill some supernatural transcendental purpose....LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST DAMNIT, YOU WON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE!!!

Answer 3

I don't think any living person can answer that question. Maybe dead people make differences all the time, but we don't know because they're dead and we have no idea what they're doing. Maybe what is really chance or coincidence is really dead people taking action.
Or, maybe (and most likely) when you're dead, you're no longer in this world, therefore you make no difference.
Something to think about, that's for sure...

Answer 4

I would hope that I would be missed a little. I don't want my loved ones to suffer with grief but I would like to be remembered.

When we leave the world we always leave a bit of a void. We all make a difference to the world in some small way.

Answer 5

I've been called dead meat, dead head, dead weight, dead ***, and several others, but not just plain dead. I think the human animal has to think it is of some importance to someone, else why are we here? Thus, if there is a 'reason' for us to be here, it must make a difference, even if only to our own family, our neighborhood, our town, our census category ... our self.

Answer 6

The deceased do make a difference, maybe not to the entire world, but to their family or people close to them they could have impacted their life somehow. And, those people may continue to follow in the deceased footsteps.

Answer 7

Yes.

If the universe size (in all aspect) is constant or varying in a certain range. If you decrease something in one unit, another unit will appear in another place of place of the of the universe.. and vice versa. So when you die, part of the unit that you are decreasing is replaced inside the sun and vice versa. for this reason you cannot comunicate with people that are already dead.

Answer 8

I feel we're all just part of the universe. When we die , we don't go anywhere, just cosmic mulch.
So in the reletive, immediate sense; it does make a difference. You are no longer here. But in the Absolute sense, no, because you havn't gone anywhere.

Answer 9

Yes, my family would mourn their loss and so would my friends and relatives.
The world would lose a great poet for I know one day I would be the Poet Laureate of Canada

Answer 10

It makes a big difference to those who love me.
