[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spinster grandaunt who was a school teacher had a great life. No husband and no kids. A life free of responsibility. After her retirement she travelled a lot. Now, she is in assisted living in Georgia and happy as a clam. Very small carbon footprint too and no fear of climate change, pandemic, societal decay. When she is gone, she is gone. [/quote]

That is an interesting way to frame things. Apart from being a school teacher and helping students that just sounds like a life of no meaning to me.[/quote]

Pretty much anyone will leave no memory for future generations. We will be remembered by our kids, unless of course you are  Nobel prize winner or built a University hall. Its not how others perceive the meaning of your life: it's how YOU feel about your life.

I know a married couple (also school teachers, and childless) who ended just like that - in the nursing home. They even opted for separate apartments there, so freaking tired of each other in 40 years marriage! They now enjoy playing chess with other patients.

I don't see how their contribution into society or their life was more meaningful vs the example of a single lady.
