We all want to leave our mark on this earth, like a footprint in the mud. Something that we will be remembered for. But how do we want to do that? How will we achieve it? Who will cry when we die? And why do we want to leave a mark? For our egos sake? Would we still want to leave a mark even though no one would see it? Would it be so important then? If no one knew, only the earth. Where does the need to me noticed come from? Is it the need to be famous and recognized, to be loved by others? Or does it come from a need to know that when we die we leave behind something that matter, something that tells us we mattered? That we did not struggle in vain? Maybe the need to be famous has become a shadowy thing for what we really want and the reasons we are reborn over and over again...
Just some questions I am not capable of answer, just throwing out there...

I think we have a great many number of reasons to leave a mark on the earth. It's probably everything you mentioned. For some, maybe it's one or two things. But for most of it, its probably a complicated web of reasons.
Which is probably why it's so complicated when we want to leave a mark. How DO we do it? I don't know.
Maybe the gut knows. After all, it can lead us on some crazy adventures if we let it. But normally, we're too afraid to let it. Because we're so busy trying to be successful and all that shit. . .
