[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point may be that the family line will continue,  that there will be records and memories of people, ancestors, going back- I think that is what OP means.

To me, without family, not much else is really worth it- not your things, your stuff, your big house,  etc. But that's me. It was worth it to me. I am sad that I will not enjoy the extended family, but even more so, sad for my kids who will miss out on this because I guess they think the above things are more worth it. Can't really explain that to people who have no idea what they are missing. However,  no, my kids don't owe me grandkids.  I do understand that.

Close the book. Incidentally, the top heavy population coming ahead will devastate society- a lot of people living longer with no staff, medical services, social services to care for them. The workplace and innovation will be stripped bare of expertise.  This will not be pretty. [/quote]

"Legacy" through descent is a sham.  No one remembers you after about 75 years.  Your grandchildren will probably remember you, but your great grandchildren won't.  They will barely know what you look like.

Your legacy is the work you do in this world. Did you help people?  Did you make somethiing?  Did you make the world a better place?  That's your legacy.
