For Others

We may be weak, or not. Beautiful, or not. In the end...these mean nothing.

All we can do to make sure something worthwhile of ourselves goes on is to try to better the world in which we live, bring a little beauty, and help those with which we stumble down life's road.

Because alone we are truly nothing, but if we have helped some other traveler ease their journey, perhaps we shall live in his or her memory for a bit longer.

For without others remembering us when we leave this place, all that will remain is.....Nothing.

If we erect buildings and adorn them with our names, in time people will forget that real people put up the building, and the name will mean nothing.

If we help someone and ask nothing in return, then there is something that perhaps will remain.

If, perhaps, we are not remembered then at least we have the satisfaction that comes through trying.
