re: Do any of you think you will have had the slightest effect on the world before you die?

I believe I've influenced some in a good way, was not a priority of mine it just happened.
We learn from our elders and that's what I did, it's not a good feeling when someone dying tells you that you were raised well, but it doesn't hurt.
Best of luck to everyone.

Yes, although there won't be a monument. Everyday I'm involved with inventing and manufacturing products that make you cool or warm whether it be in your house, car, bus, boat or whatever. We invent and manufacture products that keep your food products from spoiling. We create components involved with keeping blood and medications from spoiling. We're one of the best kept secrets in manufacturing. We touch every industry and millions of lives everyday.

Mostly meaningless, I'm important in my kids pov but that's just because they wouldn't survive without me right now.

I attribute the LSU National championships to my fandom.

Several people have heard of my corner. At least 8 or 9. I’m good with that.

And you only saved close to 10-12?

And you don't know how many?

I tiptoe through life trying not to disturb anyone. If I can get through this thing without causing anyone harm I can be happy in at least that achievement. To love everyone and hate no one, can this be done? I am not talented enough or smart enough to save the world but I can try to love. And to not hate. If you can show love to someone, anyone, you can have a positive impact, no matter how small. Before you were born you had no idea of what life was. You simply were not ...yet. Now you live and never want to die because you are alive and are aware you are alive. When you die you will not know you are dead because you will be in the place before you were born. The vast eternity before your birth and after your death is only interrupted by your life. Can we use that “interruption” for good or will we use it for evil? I am guessing it makes no difference unless you believe in a higher power. Something or someone above and beyond you. Your creator perhaps? I can hope to make at least a small effect because I believe in Jesus of Nazareth.The Prince of Peace. The Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End. Because of Him my end will be the beginning. Through Him I can have the greatest effect on the world. Without Him I am nothing and will return to the nothing I was before I was born. He has conquered death and offers eternal life. Am I another “religious fanatic” ? Christ is not a religion. He is a relationship. I am a relationship fanatic. A relationship with Christ offers peace and freedom. Only He can be the “effect” that people are looking for. Through Him you can have a significant impact on your world. Can you be humble enough to trust Him? Down through the ages He has called on people to try love over hate, compassion over complacency, passion for the welfare of others over passivity, spirituality over materialism, the treasures of the heart over the pleasures of heathenism. If you truly want to live and make a difference in your life, try Jesus. You’ve probably tried everything else. I know I did. I reached the lowest depths before I was finally forced to look up, because that was the only option. I pray you never reach those depths before you turn your life around.

When I mean a save, I mean one that totally wakes up, not turning over a brain dead person on a vent or someone who needs total care the rest of their lives.

Probably not, but I'm okay with that.
