Who cares?.
I'm having problems with my computer again - so I will probably be offline for awhile.
.
This isn't real you know - blogging. You think it is, but it's not. We think our opinion matters, but it doesn't. We think highly of ourselves, our writing, our being right about stuff - but it doesn't mean a great deal in the long run.
.Monday I got news that an event planner, Robert Isabell died recently. He was originally from Duluth - he created extravagant parties and was sought after by everyone who was anyone. He worked for people like the Kennedy's; he did Jackie's funeral, John and Carolynn's wedding, he did stuff for Caroline, and many other socialites here and abroad. He died suddenly of a heart attack. It occurred to me that in a few years no one will remember him. His 'creations' were momentary - memorable to some perhaps - yet only for awhile. He will fade away - he's just dead.
.
They like to speak of Michael Jackson how he will 'live on' through his legacy of music - but he will still be dead.
.
My former boss from Dayton's-Marshall Fields died several years ago, the stores he designed and embellished have all been sold, the trends have changed along with the economy, and nothing of him is left. He has an industry award named after him - but he's dead, and soon no one will pay any attention to the name of the award - just the recognition they receive.
.
We are all going to die - and most of us will be completely forgotten - we are not as important as we think. Yes, yes, God loves us - but most people's efforts go into making others love us, making others esteem us, making others believe we are important - ego stuff you know. We always think we are right. Most people never really think of God, much less acknowledge him. yet everyone thinks they are going to heaven.
.
Not everyone goes to heaven either.
.
Whatever. So anyway - I'll be offline for awhile. Have at it.
.
Just remember we are all going to die and be forgotten. "Yeah, but what's your point?" - "I'm not sure."
