Fear

Death is a natural part of life. Everything that is born will eventually die. As much as we might not want to think about it, it is nonetheless true. That being said, people can do certain things which can make them “immortal”. That is, they and the effects of their actions are felt long after they die. My greatest fear is not death on its own, but death in obscurity. Dying and no one caring. Dying without contributing to anything in any way. Now I realize that not all of us can be Napoleon or Caesar, who leave grand legacies and will be remembered as long as there are people around to remember them. However, I don’t want to be one of those people who was remembered (or rather not remembered) as merely an average, minimum-wage, waste of human life. I just want to die and feel like I contributed something, even if it was something small.
