Forget

The moon through my telescope.

Time will forget most people. It will forget you and I both, it will forget probably everyone we know. There are a few that won't be forgotten. Time will make the things they did seem insignificant, but they won't be forgotten. They'll have a paragraph in a high school text book, they'll be mentioned in a documentary, they'll have a street or a building named after them. When someone reads about them in a few hundred years, they won't know what to think about them. The culture will be so different. But they'll still be there, pushing us forward from so far in the past.
