"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving."
--Albert Einstein
What we have received from others, we have an obligation to pass this on to others.
This fits into the Law of Conservation of Energy and Mass. We live in a house built from materials derived from nature or manufactured. We stay warm from heat generated from raw materials that release their energy. We eat foods grow, engineered, farmed, processed, packaged, stored, delivered and prepared. The energy released from consuming food keeps our bodies alive and allows us to use our brains to learn and work for the betterment of ourselves and others.
We read books written by others. We hear our teachers and others giving us opinions and details of history, science, math, engineering.
We move around the world by car, bus, plane, train, boat. We stay connected by the internet, phone, television.
But at the end of the day, we need meaning in life and a purpose. We need to pay forward to others, so that they can help the next generation of world inhabitants.
Live your life in person. Live your life as you would want to be remembered.
