To me the point is like you said to make someones life better by you being in it. Raising good kids that are going to have a positive effect on their surroundings, being an active member of your local government, or larger goverment, are worthwhile causes.Smithereener wrote:

Haha, I'm not too fond of Greenpeace myself. Nor PETA. Nor many other organizations that have good intentions but bad methods of trying to get things achieved.LividBovine wrote:
If you join Greenpeace though I will have to hunt you down and kill you for being stupid.
Perhaps I'll try to rephrase what I said, if you were told you had a day to live, what would you feel made your life worth living? If someone remembers me in a positive way, then I've added to that person's life, so it isn't just a case of me wanting someone to know I was there.Turquoise wrote:
I don't really care what happens after I'm dead. Maybe that's selfish, but it doesn't seem any more selfish than hoping others remember you.
One of the less selfish things to hope for after you die is that you've made the world a better place for the next generation. I'm not the kind of person that thinks much about this concept, but I can at least respect it. Society would probably progress faster if more people focused on the welfare of our posterity.
I wasn't really trying to target you with my post, but I see what you're saying. Making someone's life better before you die is an altruistic goal for sure.Hakei wrote:
