The Dual Nature of Legacy

Legacy encompasses both what one leaves behind and what remains unburdened. In discussions about legacy, it is essential to distinguish between tangible possessions and intangible influences. While some focus on the material legacy they create, true impact often lies in how one's actions and philosophies shape others' lives. The fear of being forgotten can lead people to cling to material legacies instead of recognizing the value of their lived experiences and the lessons they impart.
