How do you want to be remembered

When did we stop caring?

Not so long ago there was a movie out called Paying it forward. Now although I must admit the movie didn’t particularly affect me at the time, it seems to be impacting my thoughts recently. Admittedly I’m probably not going to go out and change the world and I’m probably not going to try and feed a nation.

However I think it’s time to be a little more empathetic. Yes, that’s right; I had another life changing occurrence. Last night I was having possibly the most restless night of my life. I couldn’t sleep, I tossed and turned and nothing would get me to sleep. I know what you’re thinking Saturday night why are you trying to sleep any way? Well regardless of why I was tired and I needed the Z’s.

Three o’clock came and went then four o’clock arrived. Now I was finally starting to doze off, when the gate of my complex opened and followed by doof doof music from the car stereo and possibly the loudest talking I’ve ever heard. Then it stopped...

Then a few minutes later my neighbours put their music on full blast and echoed through my flat, five thirty came and this continued, part of me wanted to go over and shoot the bastards and the other part wanted to go over and join in the party. I was infuriated, but then it got me thinking, what types of people are so inconsiderate?

Then however it go me thinking about all the times I’ve been an arsehole to others and most people who know me know I have my moments where I can be the biggest chop ever. Then something Gareth told me rang out my mind. He said you send out messages into the universe and they often come true, so part of me has started to wonder if I’m only being treated the way I have treated others in the past? Is it actually a circle and inevitably it comes back to you?
Again this brought me back to the movie Paying it forward. Which makes me wonder when I look back on it all, would I rather have people think of me as a saint or a dick? Obviously there are other alternatives in between, but my point is how do you want to be remembered? Set goals and work backwards.
