What Remains?
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4515281I heard this on NPR this morning and was inspired by the end of the commentary. The writer states that the individuals who stand out are the artists in a society. Those with lasting influence are the writers, artists, and musicians over a time. I would submit that they are THE lasting influences. How many people remember offhand who the rulers were during Shakespeare's time , Or who was president while Dali waxed his mustache? Certainly we can sit for a second and figure it out, but who more readily comes to mind.
Miller and Thompson will forever be remembered by their work. By what means will we be remembered? Our works(or lack thereof), whether famous or infamous, will be the hinge. When I step out of the moral coil what canvas, publication, byte, or note will remain to say " I was here"?
