Every year, on November 2nd, millions of people around the world, pay tribute to their forefathers. They pray, visit churches or cemeteries, in some way trying to revive the memory of those who left us.

Activate good memories is part of life and it encourages us in our daily journeys. To remember a grandmother’s good advice, or great grandpa’s wise words makes us feel their presence again.

Someday, we will join those who left us. Our whole generation will vanish from the Earth’s crust… And how shall we be remembered
in the future ? What kind of image of ourselves will we leave ?
See here two possibilities:

“The late 20th and early 21st century generation used up non-renewable resources (oil and minerals) from the planet, not paying attention to those coming after. They created the greenhouse effect with their unquenchable consumption habits. Their legacy was the global warming process and its consequent ruins”.

“Despite having spread a development culture responsible for the global warming, the late 20th and early 21st century generation has recognized being victim of their own evil deeds. They established, however, a new awareness and a change in attitude about the environment, plants and animals. Along with these, the return to balance could at least start”.

Life is made up of choices… and we will be remembered by the choices we have made.
