Legacy/Destiny

There is a thought that the person that we are today is to a large degree the product of all our past decisions and what we choose today will be formative in who we become tomorrow. Even from the perspective of this life being our only life based on the notion that the universe is ulltimately a meaningless accident, the decisions that we make are terribly important (if we care at all about our legacy.) But if there are even the possibility of such things as a God, design, immortality etc then we have to reckon to an eternal dimension to our decisions.

This perspective is very sobering indeed.
