once dead....how many generations will remember you anyway? Unless you did something of importance, who in the world would even care you were here in the first place?

Yes, many times and it gets depressing if you dwell on it. There are several million more people than 6 billion on the Earth but have you ever thought how insignificant they are in the immensity of the Earth and the universe?
If you gave each human presently on earth a space about the size of a coffin (6' x 3' x 1 1/2') and stacked those coffins into a cube that cube would be about a mile on the side. If you don't like stacking coffins, give them an area to stand on so that they were shoulder to shoulder and belly to buttocks (3' x 1 1/2'),and they would occupy only a square area on earth about 30 miles on a side. That is all there are in the entire universe!
We hear so much about overpopulation and that there are too many people on the Earth but that is an illusion, I think, brought about by most people living in close proximity in cities.
Good health, peace and love!!

You live on the planet Earth.When you look up at the night sky you see the "Milky Way" this is our galaxy.There are Trillions of galaxies in the universe.If you were not here it would be different.Even the smallest minute thing in absence would change the entire picture.I don't like the word insignificant as we all matter.You would care you were here on this beautiful planet and that is all that really matters.

I thought about that during the Tsunami when all those bloated bodies were washed to shore. They were piling the bodies on trucks like cattle.

Yes..what comes to my mind sometimes when I see some dust is that this dust might have been many men, some centuries ago. u may find it crazy, but actually that's the way it is.

I don't think we were meant to be indispensable. We are here for our allotted time and then we are gone, really for me it would be creepy to think that kids in college are cutting apart a book I wrote.

the point we still need to grow up to understand the meaning of life - it is not about how "significant" u are . everyone and everything is significant . this is just a hinduistic view of life

Most of us won't be remembered. I'm sure billions of people have died so far and I remember very few of them.
