" everyone has something to show for life"

but no matter how i think about it, and how many times i try to think of something, i can't think of anything i've had to show for my life so far... and it makes me feel not part of this world. sort of like the odd one out

do you think it's true?

everyone has something to show for life?

honestly not sure

I don't know. Everyone I know has something to show for life but everyone I know is over 40. Sometimes it takes a while to make your impact.

Honestly, I really disagree with what you read shattered. If you've got air to breathe, clean water, food to eat, if you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste, if you have friends or family or people in your life, if you have health, and above all, if feel and enjoy being alive, I think that is overwhelmingly what's important. Compared to that, accomplishments and "having something to show" for life means almost nothing.

Well I wonder what they mean by "something to show." I've basically got an underpaid job and a massive amount of debt, but I've got good friends and I've helped a lot of people in Real Life. And animals, I've rescued lots of animals. So I feel like I have a lot to show by MY standards.

I do not think it is true. I do not know, lastly I don't take any sentence too seriously . What do other people know about the way my life is ? I have so many limitations and struggles, I do not want more struggle because of a mandate, or a versicle, or a sermon, or a piece of advice, or the point of view of other people that have not gotten the type of problems I got, even if they are doctors, or priests, or friends, or whatever.
I know, I know, I am over reacting. I am irritable
