Forgotten

We will ultimately be forgotten by future generations.  Everything we have or do will be forgotten.  Even if we leave something behind that lasts forever, who we are, what we looked like, our struggles, joys, feelings, life, will ultimately be gone and forgotten.

I know I'm generalizing and have no educated expertise other than my own thoughts after reading the wisdom books of the Holy Bible.  

It's crazy to think that everything we do, everything we have accumulated in our lives will eventually amount to nothing as much of it will be gone, recycled, or passed onto someone else who didn't work for it.  I think this happens a lot more today.  We live in a throw away culture.  We live in a world that consumes goods at an astronomical rate.  

Then we use it up and move on to the next thing.  

What interesting creatures we are, eh?
