When Do You Die

When are we dead? Is it when our spirit leaves (spell check things I meant to spell elves) our body? Is it when our heart and brain stop working? I really don't think so. I think we stop living at 2 points in our lives. Yeah I know how do you die twice, well in my book you can. The first way to die for me is when you live for nothing. You have no goals in life, when you don't look forward to anything. The second way to die in my books is not your natural death, no, it is for me when you are no longer remembered. When your name and gravestone are wiped clean. When nobody hears your name, nobody remembers your deeds. I know I have tones of dreams that will never ever happen but this is what I hope to achieve. Helping a town or village so I ( I know this sounds really vain) am remembered. I really don't want to be remembered for the bad things I've done. I want to make a positive difference in some way. But some times I believe that I try too much. Being a cook for The S.S. as well as trying to become an all star for 4-H going to try to make things for 4-H so I am remembered.
