Gabrielbab, I am sure you also understand that documenting one's life and "doing some good in this world" are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, if one is concerned about being perceived as selfish, then one would want to "do some good" anonymously, rather than for the sake of remembrance. However, selfishness did not figure in my appeal because I advocated self-documentation for largely private family and friendship reasons. The post in question was intended for (and originally posted by me in) my high school class forum. > > Santosh, we all live in Hope.

This is indeed a hopeful material world that we live in where we are free to create a metaphorical spiritual existence for ourselves, and derive additional hope from it if we want. Cheers, Santosh
