What happens to your life’s work when you die? I think we don’t think about this, on the longest timescale, as much as necessary, myself included. Will your work be passed to your children or some other heir? Will someone inherit it with the same vigor and sense of purpose to carry it forward? Will they be aligned to your principles and raison d’etre, so that even if they evolve the work, it would change to something you’d approve? We can contribute to meaningful pursuits that matter over hundreds of years, if we so choose. Can we see past the time horizon of our own lives?
