I'm doing a research study on various methods of donating "something" to humanity which would be perpetual. That means that society or humanity will benefit from this act or this donation, well after your death.
Examples are:
1. Wilderness Protection;
2. Inventions;
3. Acts of kindness;
4. Exceptional teachers (Abe Lincoln wouldn't have been where he was without a great school teacher);
5. Religious truths;
6. Nobel Peace Prize winners;
7. Philosophies of life;
8. Leading an exceptional life;
9. Having "successful" children (they don't have to be wealthy to be exceptional);
10. Leaving a particular legacy;
11. Super Mom or Dad;
12. Scientific contributions.
If you have any ideas, please feel free to let me know. If you have one idea - great! If you have many ideas - that would be fantastic!
Thanks!

Me. Though I have not done any memorable things, my life has touched thousands of others and what I imparted to them has gone on to touch many other thousands and will, unto the end of time. This is the donation we all make to humanity.
