Who am I?

I work as a nurse. My genes classify me as male. I am labelled as Chinese. Interest of mine are varied. Things that make me passionate include helping people, and reading about life. People who feel the emotion love for me include my wife, my family and some of my friends.

When I die.

I will be a memory for at best 2 more generations.

Within 3 generations I will be a record somewhere in some photo album or government records. Within 10 generations I will be a very small part of some peoples DNA.

Within 100 generations, even if I could be a famous movie star right now, or the Prime Minister of Canada, I will be a flicker of mention in the most remote part of some information database.

Within 200 generations, if the Earth is even still inhabitable...all supposed meaning, purpose, goals, loves, hopes, dreams I ever had...all the good or bad I ever did to anyone else...it will all be virtually non-existent.

Within 1,000,000 generations...give or take a little...I will be, will cease to be, and there is nothing more than dust.

If there is no God, no one hears the deepest hidden cries of our heart. If there is no God, we are only what we achieve or produce. If there is no God, whether you do right or wrong ultimately is only important for survival or gaining more pleasure and less pain. If there is no God, our value, our meaning, our existence has a definite expiry date. If there is no God, ultimately...there is no meaning. Life is ultimately meaningless.

Did humankind make up the idea of God? Or do we consider God because that is how he made us?
