We as creatures of nature are spurred to leave our legacy behind. In the simplest terms this means there is an innate drive for us to copulate, fornicate, procreate, do-it. All life has the need to sustain the future of its populations by reproducing. For those of us who have the ability to choose, the luxury of letting others lend their DNA offerings to future generations, what legacy can we leave behind? If all things are eventually perishable, is there even a real point to do so? I often feel like Bender from the Futurama episode where he becomes Pharaoh and builds a galactically huge statue of himself that says, "REMEMBER ME!" and breathes fire out of its mouth. I think I need one of those. Even if it will eventually malfunction or deteriorate with time, it will probably last longer than any DNA I could leave behind, only to be so diluted anyhow by the time my statue would cease to be. Hell, look at the pyramids or the Sphinx, how long have they been standing? So many generations have come and gone yet that hunk of shaped rock is still there. Though nothing lasts forever, in the scheme of geologic time, rocks will outlast the species of humans a million times over. Either way, as it is now, the only legacy I do leave behind gets flushed down the toilet before anything could come of it. Somebody build me a statue now damn it!
