This is a great piece. It kind of makes me wonder. Do people that do weird inexplicable things do so (at least part of the time) in order to simply be remembered and stand out from the crowd? And it makes me wonder, what sort of things would get us in the history books? We should make a list. I’ve always thought that if I could get a quote of mine on a Celestial Seasonings tea bag, I would have really accomplished something. I may be aiming a bit high there, but what the hell.

We encounter heroes everyday - teachers, parents, doctors, volunteers - people who make sacrifices so that others may live better lives; they shape the way we live, yet few of their names will make it into the history books. For the most part, this lack of immortality doesn't concern them. They just want to be happy, and hopefully make a difference. Live a good life. Do what makes you happy. If all we know is what we do, see, and feel - why waste time worrying about who you are not and what you are not. Happiness is the goal. Plus, I'm sure you've already had a positive, often dramatic effect, on the lives of many people - whether you realize it or not. Prince Harry will be remembered, but so will many evil, hateful people. And possibly Paris Hilton. To my mind, it's better to live well and live quietly than announce yourself an ass to the world and have it documented for the ages.
