Have you ever thought about this?

In 100 years, like in 2124, we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather’s father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone’s bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history’s oblivion. We won’t even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyze these thoughts, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all really was.

If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.

Always having more, no time for what’s really valuable in this life. I’d change all this to live and enjoy the walks I’ve never taken, these hugs I didn’t give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn’t have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And we waste it day after day with greed and intolerance.

你有没有想过这个问题？

100 年后，也就是 2124 年，我们和我们的亲戚朋友都已经被埋葬了。

陌生人将住进我们努力建造的家园，他们将拥有我们今天拥有的一切。我们所有的财产都将是未知的和尚未出生的，包括我们花大价钱买的车，它可能最终变成废品，或者，如果走运的话，落到一个不知名的收藏家手里。

我们的后代几乎不知道我们是誰，也不会记得我们。我们有多少人知道我们曾祖父是谁？

我们死后，人们会记得我们几年，然后我们只是某人书架上的一幅画像，几年后我们的历史、照片和事迹就会消失在历史的遗忘中。我们甚至不会成为记忆。

如果我们有一天停下来分析这些想法，也许我们会明白，实现这一切的梦想是多么的无知和脆弱。

如果我们能思考一下，我们的方法，我们的想法肯定会改变，我们会成为不同的人。

总是想要更多，没有时间去珍惜生活中真正宝贵的东西。我会改变这一切，去享受从未走过的路，从未给过的拥抱，从未给孩子和爱人的亲吻，从未有时间开的玩笑。这些肯定是最值得回忆的时刻，毕竟它们会让我们的生活充满喜悦。

而我们却日复一日地用贪婪和偏见浪费着它。
