aggierocker Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Who would you cause grief to? Would anyone miss you? Would you change any events in others' lives? How significant are you to the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayKay Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Who would you cause grief to? Would anyone miss you? Would you change any events in others' lives? How significant are you to the world? At the end of the day, how you imprinted on someones life and heart is the only true mark any of us leave on this earth and is what we are most proud of... - My Mum Of course I have an impact on the people in my lives - if I was never born, I guess their lives would be different I assume, my boyfriend would not be with me, I would not be the big sister of my siblings, I would not be my mother's first child. If I passed away, of course it would affect them, I would also hope they would still live a full life. You don't have to be famous, or make a difference to thousands of people to still matter greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dako Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 If I died it would depress about a dozen people for a while, some money would move between banks. If I never existed,_______________________. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElektraHere Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Why ponder this thought? Isn't there anything better that you have to think about then who would miss you and who would grieve you. On a sidenote it seems you need contant reassuring about your looks, actions, etc have you ever thought of seeking someone to talk to about this? A professional?

Diggitydave Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 i agree with elektra, where did this come from? I hope this thought isn't tied into a deeper issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElektraHere Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I think the deeper issue is that attention is needed constantly. Like I said seek a professional. Get to the root of why you feel this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coollady1957 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I too wondered what prompted you to ask these questions. And to asnwer your questions............. Yes I have lots of family and friends that love and care for me that I feel would grieve my loss, and would miss me. However , I would hope that they continued on with their lives in a productive manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylph Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 If I died I doubt anyone would know apart from my parents. Even then I don't think they'd be that upset, it's not like we've ever been remotely close. If I never existed then I guess a few people would be a lot less disturbed and a few people would probably have killed themselves, or found someone else to convince them not to kill themselves~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggierocker Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 One of my favorite movies is Butterfly Effect. I just really appreciate my friend and the only little family I have right now. After all today's my birthday, and people haven't really ever told me happy birthday much because I was raised a jehovahs witness. Even my dad who got dragged into the religion by my mom, sent me a text telling me happy birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthesea Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Each of us have influenced others we don't even know of. After all, we're on enotalone! Every day we influence others to make positive changes in their lives and become better than they dreamed they could be. I have assisted a lot of abused women I encounter on various forums online. I spend time emailing many of them to keep them motivated to leave, and motivated to stay away from their abusers once they have left. I have brought laughter, smiles and tears to many eyes with my personality, my talents, and just from being me. We are all here for a reason. Each of us have lessons to learn and to teach. Remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggierocker Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 And I'm just thinking of how much people have helped each other, and what would happen to those people if we weren't here. It just makes me think of all the small things we do. Like helping people on an internet forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DN Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 If you never existed every kind thing that you have done or will do would be missing from the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggierocker Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Donnie Darko is another good one, but that movie is also depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hey, I reckon if I died the most obvious people who will be effected by my death would be my parents. They brought me in to this world so I guess it would hurt if I got taken out of it. After that, I would say my close friends and my brother and sister. The more I think about this the more I think about how people would benefit from me being dead. I often wonder what the world would be like without me, perhaps a better place and less arguments? I like what DN said: If you never existed every kind thing that you have done or will do would be missing from the world. Thats very true DN Miya xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwdreeHpburn Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I think its a great thread and a great opportunity to contemplate your existence. What's with the philisophical stuff lately? Anyway, this could be looked at as an opportunity to take hold of the future and make the difference you don't think you've made. Looking back at my life so far, I can say with some conviction that i've offered very little to the world. I'm not being modest, just honest. I believe like DN said that were I not here, none of the things I've done would have happened, but would they be missed? Doubtful. That said, if one were action oriented, they could correct or change this by doing SOMETHING that gives them a sense of accomplishment or worthiness. The question tho - How significant to the world are you - is a good one and an opportunity in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaseeker Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 My son. If I never existed, he would also have never existed. And if I were to die (prematurely, heh) it would have a dramatic, negative impact on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgirl Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't think anyone would really care if i died. I could be wrong, and if i am, i am cynical enough to think that it would be for the wrong reasons, such as i help them keep their lives together, or they wouldn't have anyone to give them a lift around on the weekends. But thinking about it seriously, maybe a few people would miss me, for various reasons. I would like to think 1 or 2 people would miss me because they miss me, and not what i can do for them. My sister committed suicide, and words cannot describe how much i miss her sometimes just for her company. And i miss her for what she used to do for me, but am getting passed that. Depressing topic.
