Will I be missed?

[TigerStripes]

I won't miss him.

Actually anybody on here could leave and I wouldn't miss them.

There's always a replacement. You all are expendable.

i have plenty of milk and dairy i need cheese and crackers daily, im a big son of a gun dont worry about putting on some weight your skin will look younger

Even if dairy is bad for me, I don't plan to give it up. Camembert cheese is a weakness, I cannot get enough. Greek Yogurt with honey is another favorite.

One of the best.

I was just thinking....not to be morbid, but I am old compared to most folks on Getbig. I  think some folks here view me as  if I am something like a Pedo playing in the kiddies sandbox (flame on).

What I wondered was, do I make a difference? Do I bring something valuable to the Getbig  forums? If I died tomorrow, would any of you give a rip? Of course, you probably would never know because I would simply disappear from these forums. Clearly, I have no claim to fame like, say, Nasser or some others who have passed and are either remembered or ridiculed here.

Before you all jump on this like flies on shit, keep in mind everyone either gets old or dies young. I am not dying BTW, in case you were hoping I was. Still, my remaining time in this life could certainly be a lot shorter than some folks here. I am not looking for sympathy....everyone dies sooner or later. I accept my fate and I am not looking for preferential treatment. So please do not cut me any slack as I suspect you won't.

Perhaps I am just having a moment of melancholia. Like most folks, I would like to believe I made a difference to someone, somewhere. I know I will be missed by my family and friends, but will I be missed in any larger sense. Before you kill me with your responses, I hope you will give this some thought, because there but for you, go I.

you will be missed probably as much as other members of the board who died so far.

[Master Blaster]

You will not be missed. Only legends like Dave are missed. There are not many of those.

[Primemuscle]

Thanks Prime, it was both my parents are gone he wasn't married and no kids, so I along with my wife handled everything!

Both my parents, all my grandparents, aunts and uncles are gone, a few years ago, my younger sister died. My wife's parents, aunts uncles and grandparents have passed. Two of her sisters are dead. It looks like my wife and I are the patriarch and matriarch of our respective families. I think this is pretty normal if you live to be fairly old.

Fixed!

This would be my guess too.

Take the most influential person to ever walk the earth(I don't know who it is but fill in the blank yourself) then ask yourself if they are missed by the masses. I don't mean their ideology, but the person themselves. Life is moving way too fast for anyone to be truly missed other than loved ones. Just the way it is and has always been. And it's not gonna stop. Many people have god complexes that think otherwise.

That being said, I'll remember you Prime...And that truly is all that matters. Hell even loved ones can miss you but may soon forget you. What you want is to be remembered not missed. Missed is a fairytale by hopeless romantics...

I miss you already.

Good point. Actually, I am not much of a romantic.

[Primemuscle]

Please stick around Primemuscle!!

I plan to do that for as long as it takes to straight some folks out here.

I was thinking about death the other day and realized no matter who you are or how "important" you are, the world still goes on without you.

that is so true, life just keeps going when we croak. the only thing we can hope for is to be remembered by family n freinds. thats why i try to treat people good so they will speak good about me when im buried

[Earl1972]

only people that were close with you will miss you, once they die all of us will  be forgotten

can you name who the president of the united states was 100 years ago?  you probably can't and you probably don't care, so why should regular people like us expect to be remembered or missed?

only the few transcendant people will be remembered forever, the sad fact is most of us are replaceable

Hmm... Woodrow Wilson?

Shit... I looked at it was Taft. I was off by one.

Goddam it!

Wait... No! I was right!

Wilson took office in 1913.

Damn... Better than I thought.

I basically have a couple of time periods that I have paid lots of attention to.

The times during WWI and WWII are what I've been watching a lot of on Military and History Channel so I just happen to remember that Wilson was the guy who wanted to start the League of Nations after WWI. I extrapolated it from that really.

I'm working on the Civil War from a historical perspective right now and will eventually go back to the War of 1812 and the Revolution. I will probably come back to Vietnam after that.

Of course there is every reason to believe you won't know what people say about you after your gone. Better that they speak well of you will your among them.
