powerful words.
Truly, for what ideas did your father labor?
Simple, the idea of you. The ancestors you never met, often thought to those who would come after, to carry their names.
You may have never thought of them, but they thought of you, and even now you think to those who will follow you.
Do you care how people remember you? Which people? Correct, those who come after, your sons, daughters and grandchildren who hear your name as a story of a man.
Kind silly to say, since its so bleedin obvious, but probably bears repeating. Our culture does not appreciate statements like this typically. That seems wrong. We should, imho.
