How have you affected the world?

After watching a movie about retirement the other day where the old guy was looking back on his life and trying to figure out what effect he had had on the world, I got to thinking.

Now, I know that thinking is somewhat frowned upon here in Retarded Thoughts, but if any of you could manage to pull your head from the gutter for a couple of minutes and do a spot of self-evaluation, I would appreciate it.

What has been you impact, positive or negative, on the world around you?
Are you happy with it?

 

i'm still workin' on it. ask me again in 10 years.

 

one of the hardest questions posed to me in a long time.

 

I made a kickass thread about me. If I never do another productive thing in my life, I will consider myself successful.

 

Ditto. Give me more time.

 

Same here.....Im still devising my master plan

 

Beside developing a cure for cancer?

 

hopefully no major effect.

so far, i can only think of two or three real "regrets" and they aren't of global significance.

i'd rather not have a major affect on the world.

 

i personally rid the world of a sizeable amount of drugs

 

I contribute greatly to the world by being happy and minding my own business.iggy:

 

I saved a guy's life a few weeks ago

Not even a blink on the grand scale of things but still

 

i thought you were all about destroying/taking lives.


poseur.

 

He was a fellow viking, of course I would save him so then we can take many lives side by side

gosh

 

that's a pretty big impact. I mean, if that guy goes on to have kids who have kids etc. etc.

It could also be a negative impact. If for example he, later in life, became a serial rapist or something.

Do you hold an interest in seeing how he turns out? What type of guy he is?

Are you still in contact?

 

I volunteer at the city mission, and help clothe the poor.

 

I have given birth to a couple of pretty awesome people. One is following in Einstein's footsteps and the other is an actor/comedian....Apparently I don't know how to make normal people.

 

I give time and money to children's charities regulary. It's important to do something to make the world a better place.

 

Way to go girl. Normal is boring.

 

In eighteen years I wouldn't say that I've made any astronomical effect on the world (just yet) but I have done some pretty neat things.

I know that I've made an impact on a few good peoples lives, and hopefully I'll be remembered for that. I want to be assured that once I go...which hopefully wont be for a very long time, others will remember me for the good deed's I've done.

 

I feel like my personal economy has affected the world. I fell and hurt myself a couple of years ago and became unable to work. Because I didn't have much money I could not renew my professional license or pay for my continuing ed classes, now I am bankrupt and so is the world and I feel like it is my fault.

When I have been doing well it seems like I can help more people and the world does seem to also do well when I do well...

I am trying very hard to pull myself back up every spare dollar goes towards continuing ed classes. It has been a hard journey. Please pray for me if you are so inclined !!
