My father asked me what my social legacy is going to be. I guess for something I've spent my whole life pondering I've never really thought about it. Particularily these last few years the question has almost never left my mind. It's almost as prevalent as the one about my life soundtrack, only this question is more important because it's made up off all the deep questions that noone else can answer. The questions like; Why am I here, What do I want to do with my life, does that help people. What values do I want to incorperate into what I do and how do I do them. It's all nice and peachy keen to say things like I'd like to revolutionise the educational system or find a way to combine eastern and western medicine, but when I really think about what's important to me. . . do those things matter. yes they are cool, and they'd help society out in enormous ways, but deep down do they really matter?
