    I want to make my mark in this universe. Not this planet but the universe. . May sound a little selfish but I don't thinks it's a selfish thing to want to do something important. To do something that will help the greater good. I want to make a difference. Hope to hear some interesting responses. Enjoy!

    If you do manage to make a mark, you would be the first in all of humanity. So far the universe has felt us like we feel bacteria crawling on our skin. Your goal is an extremely optimistic one, lets hope you succeed!

    I think we are the universe experiencing itself, we are meant to just live life and enjoy this extraordinarily unlikely event that we have been presented with.

      I appreciate this response a lot. I know my goal is a unlikely one but even if I could start something that builds and builds over millions of years that one day makes a difference. I realize we aren't even a speck of dust compared to whats out there and that we haven't even been around for a blink of an eye but humanity was gifted with such a beautiful brain and we have such potential. Just like you said we are the universe. We are made from star stuff as the great Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye say. "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars." So many quotes I know!

        That's my outlook on "leaving a mark" on the world. I don't want to gouge a crevice in the world with my name on it, I just want to be a spark for a wildfire.
