Life isn't just about passing on your genes.
We can leave behind much more than just DNA.
Through speech, music, literature and movies...
what we've seen, heard, felt... anger, joy and
sorrow... these are the things I will pass on.
That's what I live for. We need to pass the
torch, and let our children read our messy
and sad history by its light. We have all the
magic of the digital age to do that with. The
human race will probably come to an end some
time, and new species may rule over this planet.
Earth may not be forever, but we still have
the responsibility to leave what traces of life we
can. Building the future and keeping the past
alive are one and the same thing.
