But as a lover we spend the most time together so are more in touch.

That makes sense. Maybe I am too young to have realized this yet. I'm still a little bit stuck on my romantic years  :loveeyes:

People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't
think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an
experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely
physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and
reality, so we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.:flowerchild:

Good, delve in, you will find out for yourself, maybe it will be different for you. Life is one long fucking learning. Then you die.

Psh what a disappointment. You learn then die, so you really didn't learn anything.

That's true and a good observation. However painful to accept. It's not about us, this personality structure an emergent quality of an evolved brain. It's about something so vast we will never understand it. And it doesn't care as far as I can tell.

Yea it does suck. I try to get the fullest out of what I have now. Hopefully I will leave a lasting impact on others, so they can remember me. That's the best I could do.

This is a pipe dream dearest. You will be totally forgotten as will everyone you care about. You are unimportant and so is any meaningless thing you might accomplish.

At least someone will remember me for a short amount of time which still makes me feel better. No one ever forgets about George Washington though..

Yes GW will be totally forgotten in a very short time.

Here's a good question for you. Why does being remembered after death make you feel better?

Knowing I would have made an impact on someone, and I wasn't a failure at life. I guess it's just something I want to accomplish. Not that I will remember it, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

Why would someone remembering you mitigate your personal feelings of being a failure? I really doubt that would help much.

All your self esteem in this life will be generated from within no matter what we are told.

I think it's much better to not be remembered even by yourself. Just think of all the fuck-ups you can erase.:thumbup:
