If you're really bawling, then you know that no one cares about that crap. How much you give away is the actual scorecard. Not just monetarily, but also your talents and time.
Your community and families will not remember you for being daper. I guess you could prepay a custom mausoleum and write out your obituary , including the watches, warstats, credit cards points and whatever else is important to you. We know it's not and your just as sarcastic as we are. All of our folks will remember us for how we made them feel, how we inspired them to be the best versions of themselves and how we were generous with our time towards them, thats the legacy we leave behind, that is our Dash on our tombstone.
I prefer my leather bracelets that double as a measuring stick and the other that can be used as a fire starter. I prefer to tell time by the crowsfeet next to your eyes when you laugh or the how delirious your eyes become when I spell each letter of your name with my tongue.
Alright, now let me stop you right there because this whole thing? It’s trying real hard to sound profound, but it comes off more like a TED Talk met a Pinterest board and they both ran out of gas.
You’re sitting here taking shots at people who’ve worked hard, earned a living, and maybe enjoy some of the finer things in life, and you’re acting like that automatically means they’re shallow or lost. That isn’t wisdom, that’s arrogance dressed up in campfire accessories.
You say the real scorecard is how much you give away, but let’s be honest, you sound like you’re more interested in judging how people live than actually understanding them. There’s nothing noble about shaming success just because it doesn’t look like yours.
And these leather bracelets you’re talking about like they’re holy relics? Buddy, those sound less like symbols of deep wisdom and more like you got lost in an REI and decided that was your personality now.
Then that last bit? Crowsfeet when you laugh and spelling someone’s name with your tongue? What are we doing here, a spiritual retreat or a bad romance novel? You’re trying to be poetic but you’re coming off like someone who thinks they’re the main character in everyone’s emotional journey.
If you want to leave a legacy, how about you do it without belittling everyone else’s? Because right now, it isn’t your fire-starting bracelet that’s burning bridges, it’s your attitude.
