Legacy

…..history will remember you; you can’t run away from history.  Or in the interest of accuracy—to recite a nauseatingly overused bromide—“You can run from history but you cannot hide from it”.  History will unfailingly find you and subsequently pass judgment on you and your behavior  irrespective of whatever seemingly impenetrable temporal hiding place you decide to take refuge in now.  History is indefatigable; don’t ever forget that!  You may be able to fool the present and however many simpletons inhabit this temporal fortress, but history is a different specimen altogether.  History will remember you.  And history WILL pass judgment on you for the sheer reason it has no other choice.  History never forgets and, what’s more, if you have applied multiple layers of glossy polyurethane over your being to artificially gussy up your appearance, history will strip away those fake layers of persona with greater efficacy than the staunchest solvent known to mankind.  In the end, your legacy will be laid bare for all the world to see and judge for time immemorial.  You may be able to fool the gullible present, but that gambit never works with succeeding generations, especially the further one moves into the future……
