Life Legacy

ByFaris

My father-in-law passed away about two years ago and my mother-in-law passed away not long after. They had been living near/with my brother in law, who recently announced that they are storing or giving away some of the belongings to my late parents-in-laws. I saw some pictures of the belongings and led me to think of what would my children find when they go through to my stuff when I am dead.

Would I want them to learn how to live their lives well and good? Not really, because I would like them to learn that from me while I am alive, and also I don’t think any material can tell or impart my views as well as how I can myself.

Would I want them to go through all my stuffs and hobbies and reminisce how I spend my time with the stuff? Probably yes, if this would make my kids happy because it reminds of their moments spending time with me. And most likely I would’ve not like it if they got angry or despised the stuff because it reminds me how I spent time with my hobbies instead of them.

Would I want them to find valuable things that I hoarded and now (or then) have become so valuable that they could sell on eBay for a fortune? Not really because I doubt this would like happen. Nostalgic things or memorabilia are likely to make rich, and I don’t really like people collecting things just for the sake of collecting or speculating.

So what would I like them to think about me then, as they go through my then-useless-stuff? Not too sure myself. But it would be great that they can remember me that I love them, and they feel the same, and all my stuff although they paint a picture of me, is not what I actually am or were. And please give them away if they are not useful to you.

Thank you for reading.

    When I was in school, I believed that there can be intelligence without the ability to explain, but nowadays I think that although that can still be true, the ability to explain is a greater sign of intelligence. Because sometimes you think you’ve understood it in your mind but when you try to explain it…

    Why is it when describing something, we babble and talk a lot without going to the point? It is because we don’t have a lot of time. It’s true. When we don’t have a lot of time, we tend to blabber a lot. Conversely, writing or talking concisely, requires a lot of thinking. A great…
