At the same time, any place that we may have inspired someone
else, whether by words or deeds or examples, I believe causes
our ideas to live on in others for it is possible that a simple
rub on the back of the neck that a child imitated you doing, was
the impetus that helped eventually launch a new idea in you, and
even if you do not write down that idea for future generations,
the child might, for he too rubbed his neck in imitation of you,
eventually leading to the same inspiration you had but HE writes
it down.
Ridiculous? Perhaps.
But the point being; it just might that we never really die and
we live on in many different ways.
