“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

– Albert Pine

Something to remember when thinking about what comes next, probably spurred by the fact I attended a funeral today that, whilst immensly sad, was the most complete celebration of a life.  Immortality is not about the transferance of genetic code, but rather the way in which our time is spent and the impact we have on those around us.

I believe we all make an impact, leave a foot-print and thus become immortal.  I see this as a comfort, particularly as an atheist with no belief in any life after this.  The importance of how we lead our lives, how we touch others and the way this is remembered is who we are and all that we can ever become.

There truly is a light that never goes out.
