In ancient Egypt, when someone died, they would be buried with many of their own possessions. The people believed that they would take these things on with them to an afterlife. The pharaohs and the wealthy, however, would sometimes take it to an extreme. They would take people with them as human sacrifices to be their future servants.
Why are some things so hard? I've always know that I've wanted to be an organ donor, but now that I have the form in front of me, pen in hand... I'm having such a hard time filling it out. It doesn't make any sense. This isn't going to change my life in any way, I'll be dead before it affects me. I won't need organs then. But I could possibly help someone... So why is this so hard?
It's not as extreme as the egyptians, but I know that I very well could change someone's life in a major way.
What are you most afraid to leave behind?
