Glory

Glory is one's attempt to overcome a feeling of inconsequence. But the hard fact is, you are inconsequential and so am I. What we do with our meager lives is our legacy, and some of us will be remembered, and others will be forgotten.

I don't personally care about my legacy. If I did, I might consider procreating. There are presently 7,000,000,000 people on the face of this rock, and there is a net gain of about 75,000,000 people each year. That's births, minus deaths.

Eventually we may reach a point where there are so many people on this planet that we consume more of the resources than our defecations and disposals re-produce. We will exhaust available resources, at some point, and population will take a swift drop down.

We can try to stop that, but we have to be aware of the problems facing all of us, as a species.

The point is, you're insignificant and so am I. What I do is of no significance. What I can get everyone to do is, and in that event, I share credit with everyone. These are not original ideas, these may be original ways of presenting them, however.

Hell, if anyone deserves credit for the execution of any of the ideas I present, it would be the root of the inspiration for the writers of MacGyver.
