I don’t really know what it means. If it means eventually nobody will remember you, then that is true for most people I suppose, unless you have done something that achieves lasting fame. But people can have an influence on the world they live in without being famous. Something you do has probably influenced something, even if it’s only having some children. That you are not remembered is irrelevant to whether something you have done has had an impact in some way. Even just giving a modest amount of money to charity for instance has helped someone’s life to be less vile. Feed the ducks on the river and help them to survive. Put out food for the birds and the hedgehogs. It’s made a difference even if only a small one. Some future birds and hedgehogs will be alive in the world because you put out food for their ancestors. Some people in Africa will have clean drinking water because you contributed to building them a well. You don’t have to be remembered to have done some good in the world.
