IMMORTALS

IMMORTALS

Death is a non negotiable debt we must all pay, no one is getting out of life alive, but while we will all die, some men will live on in the lives of the people they have left behind, even unborn generations will feel their impacts whenever they come around. These people are immortals, not because they would not die, but because their works, effort, and effect lives on.

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated fifty four years ago, many people have come and gone between his time of death and today, but nothing is remembered about them. Today, Martin Luther King day is a national holiday in the United States of America. Nelson Mandela was president of South Africa for just five years, but he was the kind of leader the world needed at the time. Today, Nelson Mandela day is also a globally celebrated day.

Many more of these men abounds, a few includes, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, William Shakespeare, Neil Armstrong, Sir Isaac Newton, and many more. These all earn their recognitions and has become immortals, they live on in their death, not for what they have achieved or done for themselves, but for their contributions to the betterment and advancement of the human race.

We become immortals by living our lives for others; by ensuring another man breathes better because we have lived; by living beyond the crave and craze for the acquisition of material things; by spreading so much love, joy, and hope of a better life. There is nothing great about a man whose material possessions are inexhaustible, but his life and death is quickly forgotten. However short you live, live IMMORTALLY, live for others.
