"We do not simply live our lives for ourselves, but for those who came before and will come after us."

All I really feel the need to do is to make others happy, regardless of whether or not I am happy, myself. It may not be thought of as the wisest of decisions, but I put everyone I know in front of myself-- to me, these people come first. It's scary that the decisions I make in my life are ones that can affect the lives of others. One little mistake can ruin everything. For example-- maybe a very unimaginative example, but a fitting one- if a friend were to tell me a secret that could never be heard by the ears of another, and I told everyone I knew, I would probably lose that friend. Then, we would grow up and go our separate ways. We would get married and have children, or maybe live alone in a one room apartment. We would live a happy life, or rather, a "happy" life, and we would never see each other again. It's funny, isn't? How one domino can knock over twenty? How one person can start a war? How one doubt can rid of all hopes? It's funny, isn't it?
How one little thing... changes everything.
