You know, one of the really nice things about life is being able to have fun. Fun means as many different things as there are people. But probably the worst thing you can do is piss on someone's fun because you want to comment but have no understanding... unless, of course, that is how you get your jollies.

There are many things people can leave behind "in their will" based on their experiences. People might write down what they have been through, and that could end up being a book or a movie that changes other people's lives. It can be through passing on knowledge and wisdom to younger generations, providing them with an education. It can be through pictures, either photographs, or through art. And even using that observation about Pascal... he left behind something that has endured centuries, because people who make discoveries, often in collaboration with people in other countries, add to our lives.

Frankly, I take the view that my life is enriched if I learn something new each day (irrespective of how mundane or outstanding it might be) as well as have some fun doing the things I enjoy. That way I can cope with the less-desirable aspects of my life.
