History

You pay a lot of money to have the government tell you you own something. But nothing is truly yours, the land stays forever, the house crumbles, the family moves on to better things and meets you at the assigned place when on the other side. Your body is left in a nameless cemetery on a forgotten road with a marker destroyed by time and weather. The only survivors are stories, legends and love. Tell your history to those who can tell the next generation, keep your family, your lifestyle and yourself alive. Forever.

You are quite correct. Sometimes I look around at all the stuff I've amassed and it makes me sad that one day NONE of it is coming with me, lol.
