i don’t care about legacy and after-life remembrance: an 8 days to 23 entry / onitsha living diaries 21

the thing is, I don’t really care for being remembered, legacy and after life stuff except heaven.
i think people put too much effort into this legacy something that they forget that the good stuff happens while you are alive.
after you are dead, whether you are remembered for good or bad, remembered for just existing or not remembered at all, it doesn’t matter. what matters is when you are alive because after death, you cease to exist and your legacy won’t even stop you from dying. plus, you’ll either be chilling in heaven or rotting in hell.

the thing is love and receive love while living, create good memories, good work, good art, good anything while loving, build wealth for you and your generation if you can (this matters), serve God, serve humanity, live a good life and die or rather have a peaceful rest.
because while living, we have expectations and we are people's expectations too - like it or not - we can't die still bearing expectations for legacy and remembrance even in the after life.

one question - can you change anything after you die, good or bad?
so, why bother.
leave the dead and afterlife to worry for itselves.

Focus on living daily good lives. if daily is much, focus on living good lives hourly, by the minutes or second.

i have a lot to say but...............
no, i don't care about legacy and remembrance. i just want to live and rest in a peaceful afterlife.
at least, i can change how i live my life.

ok bye!
it's debbie.
