Wisdom and posterity

The very thought of leaving something meaningful for posterity in the process of our life experience must get ingrained in all our actions be it physical behavior, psychological attitudes, emotional reactions, intellectual ideas and interpretations, spiritual experiences, social interactions, all types of services and the way we render them at home and elsewhere; the vibes we manifest; the enthusiastic vibrations we generate, in short, the combination of our overall  inherited natural instincts, nurtured thoughts and actions and all of them internalized as inward  behavior and manifested through us as our character to the outside world is what is going to impact our children, our multitude of relationships, our environment and so on.

While life is, obviously and in reality, only the present moment ' The Now', we do imitate and get impacted by and do influence our surroundings in multiple ways and means.

So, if life can be experienced with a conscious concern for the type of impact we would prefer, based on that, our thoughts and actions can be impregnated with such outlook. Then, that by itself is a great wisdom.
