I know this means something

In fifty years, who knows what this world will be like? Will it even exist anymore? Will we?

     Maybe none of that is really important.  The thing that really matters, the thing I know means something, is that everything is remembered.  What happened in the past may not affect those that live on in the future, we couldn’t possibly know that.  But what does matter is that at the very least, things are portrayed, and known.  If something is forgotten, it is as if it never existed.  It seems disrespectful to me, more than that even. If we change how things are remembered, we change their perceptions, and how things happen or are supposed to. 

     How things are perceived are different depending on the viewer.  And likewise, how something is remembered varies from person to person or society to society.  However, the facts can be recited through memory, and have the perceptions of others judge the event or such.  Things being recorded are useless if the knowledge will not be remembered.  Everything that happens should be remembered, even if only by a single person at a time.
