You're right about that. It is just kind of sad to think about sometimes though, all the people who used to walk this Earth that are basically just wiped from history, and how quickly that will happen to everyone who is currently here. & not just people, there's been so many good pups who have come & gone, etc. I guess that's why it's a showerthought, cuz it's pointless to think about in day to day life even though it's true & somewhat disturbing.

Embrace it with positivity - since we know it is certain, inevitable, you can focus on the good stuff: do things you enjoy instead of running after pointless things. Spend time eith people who you care for, like friends, and cut time on other activities. Be less fitting in - do things as you like them.

Live more kn the moment than for legacy. Only thing to add: while we will be wiped from the minds of future generations, we also lay the very foundation for their success or demise. So dont think what you are doing should only matter to you. It is also important to think of others

Yeah I know, you're right, but I still think it's sad when you think about it.
