""But I expect nothing, no rewards,no achievements, one day, it will
be all over and there will be nobody to judge what I did,
even nobody that would remember or care.""
Maybe you misunderstand me. There are no "rewards" or "achievements" in the respect that we recieve some ego boost from ourselves or others. In my opinion it's all a gift anyway, so there is no room for an ego trip.
That is not what I am talking about.
There are "effects" or "changes in awareness" that are created by our viewpoints of existence and our place within it. Our personal "description" of reality.
My goal, if I must label it, is to grow in my awareness of reality.
And during that growth, if my life has any meaning at all, I will have an effect on other's growth.
My intention is that my changes in perception, and any changes in perception that I may help to foster in others, is toward Truth.
It does not matter if anyone remembers my name, or that I had anything to do with anything.
But my legacy would be that I made some sort of positive difference in the world.
And experience as much of the Mysteries as I can while I am here.
