The last man on the planet is a typical post-apocalyptic storyline. Both world-famous scientists and fans of computer games like Fallout are building a variety of theories why humanity can leave the Earth and what the only remaining inhabitant of it will do. Of course, such a scenario is unlikely. So let's think hypothetically.
Bright Side. en knows what 10 things should be done first of all by a person left alone on Earth.
1. Stock up on gas cylinders...
In the first days of the absence of people on Earth, most of the cities will remain without electricity. First, thermal power plants running on fossil fuels (gas, diesel, coal), then windmills, nuclear power plants and, finally, hydroelectric power plants will fail.
Left alone on Earth, the last person must stock up not only with candles and matches, kerosene lamps, firewood and other alternative sources of light and heat. Autonomous gas-fired electric generators will become invaluable assistants to him. Gasoline and diesel devices will serve worse: in 5–10 years, fuel, even stored in tanks, will expire and become useless. But a gas cylinder can last almost half a century.
2. ...and water canisters
In the absence of electricity, most utility systems will stop working. The plumbing and sewerage will fail almost immediately. Even if there is still light or the systems do not depend on electricity, without human service they will stop working due to normal weather and natural phenomena. Growing plants, wild animals - it is difficult to imagine how quickly they can regain territories that were once conquered from them by man.
The last person on Earth should not only stock up on bottled water, but also find alternative sources of fresh fresh liquid - artesian wells, geysers, clean natural springs and streams.
3. Choose a car
At the disposal of the last inhabitant of the planet will be more than a billion cars of all brands and colors. True, most of them will become useless in 5-10 years (do you remember about the expiration date of gasoline and diesel?). Then you will have to give preference to an electric car that can be recharged from a generator, or a car on gas - if you can fill it up from a cylinder.
4. Move to the sea
Obviously, in the absence of a person, heating systems will also cease to function. In order not to heat the dwelling with firewood, the last person left on Earth will most likely move closer to the equator. (In addition, in a warm climate it is easier to drive Agriculture. But more on that later.)
The only inhabitant of the planet will be able to choose any of the 1.5 billion houses built in any of the 2,667,417 cities (although, of course, he will be limited to his continent - if he does not know how to fly a plane). But not every city will be suitable for habitation.
So, London, Amsterdam or, for example, Chicago are bad options. It is predicted that in the absence of people, they will quickly go under water. In general, any cities that are lower, at or slightly above sea level will not work - as well as settlements, for the construction of which the riverbeds were artificially changed (for example, Chicago).
Rome or San Francisco are not suitable because of the high risk of fire: they have a lot of old buildings. With failed lightning rods, these cities are likely to burn down in the very first years of the absence of people. No one will put out forest fires anymore, so the last person will not settle in a forest hut and, in general, next to a spruce or pine forest.
An ideal choice for the only person on the planet - a solid stone house with a large plot of black earth soil, located on an open hill, away from forests, near the sea and fresh water sources.
5. Learn to shoot
In the absence of man, wild animals will feel completely safe and begin to seize power. The last man will need shooting skills not only for hunting, but also for protecting himself and his home. The ability to fish and generally survive in the wild will be useful - after all, very soon the Earth will again become green and wild.
6. Get chickens...
In the first years of the absence of people, most products will expire. Even canned food will become dangerous to eat in a maximum of 5-10 years, because there will be no one to get medical help in case of poisoning. However, most drugs in closed packages and blisters will remain more or less suitable. The maximum that threatens them is the loss medicinal properties but they won't be poison. In the absence of a better, and this is good.
Of the products, only sugar, salt and honey will remain safe. Of course, there is a strategic military reserve with an unlimited expiration date, but it is not known whether the last person will be able to get to it. Therefore, he will probably switch to a subsidiary farm: he will grow vegetables and fruits, take care of livestock for milk, meat and eggs.
7. ...and a parrot
The last person on the planet will inevitably feel lonely. The only living interlocutor for him can be a talking parrot. These birds very accurately imitate human voices, and the last inhabitant of the planet will be able to have at least the illusion of a dialogue with him.
In addition, to escape loneliness, he is likely to get a dog. Any of the 847 existing breeds will be at his disposal. Getting dogs means saving their lives: these pets cannot live without a person. But dogs of large breeds run wild and partially adapt to life without people.
8. Visit libraries...
Works of art will help the last person to brighten up loneliness - without this way of filling leisure time, he can simply go crazy.
10. Try to find other people
The ISS, which holds the disk with the genetic code, in the absence of people will begin to fall, enter the atmosphere and collapse in flaming debris. Yes, and other space objects that store human DNA, without contact with the Earth, will behave unpredictably. Therefore, the only real chance to continue the human race on our planet will appear only if the last inhabitant of the planet finds other people.
If all attempts are in vain, the last person will only have to live and enjoy. Probably, he will be engaged in creativity and will try to leave a memory of himself in works of art - well, or simply in the notes of the last representative of the human race for new, future intelligent inhabitants of the planet Earth.
The Life of the Last Man on Earth: Waiting vs. reality
- Expectation: you can visit any boutiques, dress only in luxury, use the most expensive perfumes and cosmetics.
Reality: I don’t want to dress up in luxury and there is no one for anyone.
- Expectation: you can live in the house of a celebrity and live her life.
Reality: even in an elite cottage you cannot escape from insomnia - statistically lonely people sleep only 4 hours a day.
- Expectation A: You can travel almost anywhere.
Reality: houses, roads, the habitual view of the planet and the way of life are crumbling before our eyes.
- Expectation: you can behave as you like, without embarrassing anyone.
Reality: need to fight bad habits- They affect 60% of single people.
- Expectation: the entire legacy of centuries of human history is at your disposal.
Reality: unlikely to survive long life to watch it all, because single people rarely live to 70.
What would you do if you were left alone on Earth?
What legacy does man leave to this world when his time comes to an end? Each of us naively believes that his words, photographs, personal belongings and life in general are interesting and important, if not for the whole world, then at least for close people. Is it so?
Today's editorial "So simple!" will share the story of our reader, who discovered the truth for herself and realized that very little, almost nothing remains of a person’s life.
What remains after a person
“In search of rental housing, I happened to visit one metropolitan apartment, which they tried to rent immediately after the death of the owner. It was a gloomy three-room apartment with a back entrance,- Ksenia begins her story. - The heirs, it seems, lived far away and did not really want to move here. They did not even bother with cleaning or transporting things. The apartment looked as if the hostess just went to the store for bread ... "

“It seemed to me that now she would come in and ask in the voice of the head teacher: “Young people, what are you doing here?” But of course she didn't come.
I looked at the massive color television set on the nightstand, a skein of floss lying next to it, a vase with buttons. Nearby stood a sideboard with multi-colored glasses, from which, it seems, they often drank wine ...
Behind the glass is a photo of a girl in an imported hat and fur coat. In the pantry, coats and winter boots are neatly folded. And everywhere there are calendars: detachable here, flip-flop there - just mania. Looks like they're keeping track of time."

“There is a box of unfinished vitamins on the kitchen cabinet - they planned to live happily ever after. But the medicine boxes are nowhere to be seen - no one was sick.
The owner occupied all three rooms. But she didn't live alone. A subtle cat spirit hovered everywhere, and jars of kitten shampoos confirmed the guess. It was the cats that were in the first roles here, and it seems that they were all pushed out together right behind the coffin.

"Small library. Not artificial, which is customary to collect when books are selected by color and size, but real, live. These books were read and re-read, brought fresh. Here and Chinese philosophy, and detective stories, and a couple of romance novels.
There was a lot of literature about the grandfather of the owner of the apartment. These were massive books, and different languages. Evidently, he was an important public figure, and he was thanked for his genius, for his communist activity, and so on. If the apartment had a fireplace, then this waste paper could support the fire. Some benefit…”

What is left of this woman? Only a metropolitan apartment, renting out which distant relatives can now stop working. It seemed to me that until today I believed in my own immortality. I planned so much, saved up, saved money ... Now I saw what happens next.
Indeed, life is a very fickle thing. Today you breathe and enjoy life, spinning like a squirrel in a wheel, solving your important matters. And tomorrow you may no longer be, and then everything that was priceless to you, your children, grandchildren and other people will be unnecessary. Because they have their...

This story shows once again that a person greatly overestimates his significance for the world. Everything material that we so appreciate and adore is ridiculous and insignificant.
We are trying, we are putting all our time and effort into it, and they will simply not need it. children for a comfortable life - also nothing happens. This is because life cannot be arranged once and for all. It can only be lived, enjoying every day.
Perhaps one should save not money, but good impressions, so that there is something to remember when life rolls towards sunset? What remains after life human? Nothing. Strangers just come, trample on your tracks, turn your books into ashes and brew coffee in your Turk.
Dreams of people taking better care of nature. In the future, he plans to engage in the protection of wild animals, environmental protection and other useful things that will improve the condition of the planet. Bogdan believes that such work makes more sense than any other! He wants to one day return to Finland, which struck him with crystal clear lakes and friendly people. I would also like to come to St. Petersburg for a long time in order to get to know the city better. Bogdan is an energetic and cheerful football player. Our editor's favorite book, after reading which he began to write articles, is Martin Eden by Jack London.
Incredible Facts
What people have a big impact on the earth, is no longer a secret - the extinction of various animal species, ozone holes and the acidification of the oceans are just a few examples of human influence on the planet.
And what will happen to the Earth if suddenly all the people on it disappear?
It's easy enough to imagine a quiet, devastated planet with ruined houses covered in greenery. But really, a lot of time will pass before the skyscrapers are covered with vines.
According to American documentary filmmakers, the first few weeks without people will be real chaos.
What will happen if there are no people?
* All power plants will be completed first- Without man, they will not be able to produce either light or heat. Also, without electricity, a large number of animals (about 1 billion pigs, 1.5 billion cows and 20 billion chickens) will get out of their pens, farms, in search of food.
* The life of pets depends on people, so they will have to adapt to the new world and start hunting. Most likely, most pets will starve to death. But for some, everything will end even sadder - they will become food for wild cats and dogs.
Most dogs and cats of certain breeds are not suitable for life in the wild. Their places will be taken by feral cats and dogs of mixed breeds and wolves.
* Man throws out a lot of garbage, which serves as food for rats and cockroaches. Without garbage, these animals will become extinct.
* Before the plants reach the houses and cover them, many houses will burn to the ground. Without firefighters, it will be enough, for example, for one lightning that hits a wooden roof to burn not only a house, but an entire village or town.
Today, there are a lot of houses on Earth made using wood, and in 100 years they simply will not be.
They will reach the unburned houses termites and various microorganisms.
* Everything made of steel - cars, bridges - will be next. Without regular maintenance (painting, for example), iron in steel will turn into rust when exposed to oxygen from the air.
Steel buildings in the desert will stand much longer, as the desert has very low levels of moisture, which accelerates rusting elsewhere.
* Roads will collapse or turn into rivers, and underground tunnels (metro, sewerage) will be flooded.
* Hurricanes, storms and other weather phenomena. While many modern buildings are built to last at least 60 years, bridges can last 120 years and dams 250 years, without proper maintenance they will all wear out.
The world of man and the world of nature
* In 40-50 years after the disappearance of people, most houses will collapse. Sidewalks, roads, parking lots and houses that survive the fires will be covered with climbing greenery - bushes, vines, large plants and trees.
* In about 50 years, about 80% of the Earth's territory will be covered with forests, and our planet will be completely covered with vegetation in about 200 years.
* All structures created by man will completely disappear from the face of the planet Earth in a few thousand years. All nuclear power plants, which number about 430, will explode, but the consequences of these explosions will not be as horrifying as many might think.
* Most of the animals that were oppressed by people will return to their previous level, which was before the rapid development of people.
Invasive species that people have imported and exported will begin to develop in their non-native lands. It is possible that even animals that have escaped from zoos will begin to successfully breed in a new place.
* After only 2-3 weeks after our disappearance, the air on Earth will become much cleaner. But still, a large amount of carbon dioxide that has managed to accumulate in the atmosphere will have a strong impact on environment more, at least 1,000 years old.
After that, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will return to normal, but radioactive material from sources such as nuclear power plants will remain for a very long time.
Human influence on nature
* Even if people suddenly disappear, they will leave indelible traces behind them.
Mountains of rubbish remain chemicals in plastic packaging and some types of rubber that are resistant to digestive systems bacteria that break down natural polymers. All this garbage will not decay naturally.
Garbage of plastic and rubber eventually end up in the oceans and begin to accumulate in layers. After hundreds of millions of years, this debris will either sink to the bottom and accumulate there, or integrate into rock layers and become part of the geological record.
Death is inevitable human life. Death interrupts physical life, pulls a person out of the material world, turning his body first into a corpse, then into bones. Some are not spared (often other people are not spared): and their bodies become smoke, dust and ashes, or dissolve under the pressure of water, or are carried in the air like a suspension.
And what remains? If human life is exhausted by the materiality of the body, then with death nothing can remain of the person himself, and even what remains can be called a person? And what are the bones, or even the mummified remains, good for?
People die at different stages of their lives and different deaths. But besides a decaying body, or dust from what was once human flesh, what else remains of a person?
The death of a baby is a tragedy for the family. For a materialist, this death is in some way even better than life. All the same, you have to die, and if you died earlier, without having time to understand anything, then it’s wonderful. It is not for nothing that all materialists want a quick death so as not to have time to understand anything. For idealists, everything is much more complicated: they are constantly tormented by questions - why, why, why? What does this birth mean for the baby himself, who does not understand, is not aware of the world and himself? Why is it for him? For all the rest - parents, relatives and others who have heard, learned - maybe a lesson, maybe a lesson, maybe another evidence of the spiritual leprosy of the world, maybe a banal lack of hygiene, and so on. And for the baby himself? What did he leave behind? Contrite hearts (if parents give birth to others, will the memory of him soon be forgotten?), thoughtfulness, grief. He burst into this world, made a splash - already by one expectation of his birth by his parents, and faded away. Could his life be meaningful only to his parents? Can it make sense only in its manifestation? Parents will die, their other children will die, and that's it - the memory of the dead baby will be erased. Unless he was a member of the royal family - and then tourists or subjects of the crown will look at his tombstone. And what? Is that what he should have left behind?
The death of a teenager, a boy, a young man (and, of course, a girl...) is probably even more tragic for a family. After all, the child grew up before our eyes, was brought up, a lot was expected of him, they hoped for him, believed in him, dreamed of his future ... He can even leave something behind him: some works, some facts from life (good or bad). It looks like he managed to live for a while. And the parents, the family are angry with God (and if they do not believe, then, apparently, with nature, with circumstances, with other people), that the child is taken from them by death. What did they want from him? Did he betray their expectations? Did he die early without doing anything? Without benefiting the state, society, family? Did he die, “leaving” his parents for a lonely old age? What is more sorry - deceived hopes, or an early cut short life? But life is finite, finite. Is life measured by duration? Is it measured by quality? You can live 23 years and write a brilliant book. You can live for fewer years and be revered as a saint (examples in Orthodoxy are Tsarevich Dimitry of Uglich and Artemy of Verkolsky). From a materialistic point of view, one can only judge by deeds: did this young man leave a mark on history or not, was there a fruit from his short life, did he do anything for humanity? And if not, if he only brought confusion into people's lives, if he only did what he lived in the slums and died among dirty rags, then what kind of life is this? He left nothing behind. Life has been lived in vain, and this person has no meaning in the eyes of all mankind. He is useless.
Death in the prime of life is partly tragic, and partly even…correct. For when else to die, from the point of view of materialism, if not in the prime of life? In infancy and youth, you are still only maturing, and in old age you may turn out to be useless to anyone, your mind may betray you, your strength may be exhausted, and with your old life you may cross out your maturity. Better, apparently, to die between thirty and fifty-five years. Or when is better, what do you say? At this time, a person can say that he managed to do something, managed to achieve something, understand something, discover something. And there is something to leave - children (future successors), memory of oneself, material objects (real estate, money, cultural works, and so on). It seems that the most useful things are construction, literature and art. Nothing is more durable than them. Pyramids stand, books are read - here it is, tangible, material memory.
Is it for this to live? To leave behind a memory, a trace in the generations? And it doesn't matter, it's obvious which trail is good or bad. Yes, and the criteria for good and evil in the material world are so shaky: today Nazism is good, tomorrow evil, and the day after tomorrow it’s nothing like that, a normal phenomenon. Today homosexuality is an evil, tomorrow it is a natural human right, and the day after tomorrow... And it is still unknown who is remembered better: good or evil. If you die and your body decays, you yourself will disappear forever, then it will be important for you yourself - what trace did you leave behind? No, it doesn't matter at all. Does it matter to you, while you are alive, what mark you leave? Perhaps ... But you do not know if he will remain and, if he remains, then for how long.
They say that a person should leave behind a memory and children. Does every person leave behind a memory? Do they remember everyone and always? Barely. So, the lives of the rest - lived in vain? If he lived in the slums and died in the slums, leaving no memory of himself, then he lived in vain. But even if the memory remained, how long did it remain? Eventually humanity will die. One way or another, it will disappear. It is already clear today that one meteorite is enough to destroy the planet Earth. And no matter what memory you have, with the death of mankind it will not be. The Earth was and has ceased to be. No material life - no memory.
The same applies to children. You can give birth to at least a hundred. But they can all be killed. They may not give birth to your grandchildren, or grandchildren will not be able to give birth to great-grandchildren. But if the race is not interrupted, then until what time? Until the very same - until the death of mankind. But in general - if I live only to give birth to another person, then I am only an intermediate link, a transmitter of the seed, manure? Who am I personally? Does it even matter how I lived, what I did, if the whole meaning and purpose of my life is to leave descendants? Well, and all the monks, all the childless, therefore, lived in vain. After all, they left nothing behind. And as for the hermits - those who retired to a solitary life and prayer in the desert, forests, and so on. - in general, loafers and sloths, did nothing for society: they didn’t give birth to children, they didn’t create any material objects ...
Death in old age is natural. From what else to die, if not from old age? What else to think about, if not lived years? And now the whole life (if you remember it all, of course) before your eyes. What are you leaving? You take nothing with you - you leave everything. But to whom? Children can squabble among themselves because of the inheritance (or even kill each other, so they left, they say, a fortune), relatives during your lifetime can look closely to snatch. Your life is ending - this is clear to everyone, but the question always remains the same: what's next?
If you die and don’t meet any of them again, then you can joke evilly at your “relatives”, you can also “laugh” after the coffin to your heart's content - this is if you are of sound mind. And you can be someone's appendage, a burden, a clumsy ruin, a whining and capricious patient ... There is nothing worse for a materialist than caring for the terminally ill. What do they live on, why do they live? Why do we need hospices, why do we need old people over 90? Why do we need survivors of the mind? They will not leave anything behind, they are already ... no one and nothing. After all, human life is so material and so tied to the benefit of humanity. And if you can no longer give people anything, but you can only demand care and medicines, if you are only a consumer of money and a lot of money for treatment, which, obviously, will not heal you, then why do you need a healthy and striving for immortality (and what else can material humanity aspire to? Only to the eternity of material existence) to humanity?
And it turns out that from the point of view of materialism, if you did not bring any benefit (or evil?), if you did not do anything useful for humanity, if you did not fulfill your function in human society, did not occupy your niche and did not even hand over the salt shaker, then your life means nothing, it is meaningless and empty. Your life is empty and meaningless even when you, having lived, can no longer give anything to society, but are only its consumer. The same consumers are patients with "expensive" diseases. This is useless human material, with rare exceptions, beneficial.
From the point of view of materialism, you must leave behind a memory (good or evil - you decide, but of course, good is better for good), children (as future dead, but necessary workers for the well-being of mankind) and acquired wealth (having a material carrier). Memory is an edification and an example for posterity. Children are material for work. Wealth - for distribution among members of society.
What does idealism say? What does a person leave behind? Strange, but just this is not very important for an idealist. The important thing is that you, it turns out, can take something out of this world with you. People went to the forests and caves, praying to God, died there. They - it would seem - did not give anything to the material world, but what kind of work were they doing? And is it not by their prayers that the material world stood and still stands?
A person takes himself into the other world with him. What matters here is what kind of life you lived, and more important is how you lived inside your body, how your soul lived. In what state you died, in such a state you will find yourself in the afterlife. You take your soul with you - whether full of sins or filled with repentance, depraved or chaste, proud or humble ... And it happens that for the world you can seem like a fool, crazy, and there, after death, it will be revealed who you were truly inside myself.
And it turns out that you leave behind a memory in the same way (this is especially true for people of a pious life, saints; memory, of course, is important, but they themselves did not strive for it, it was not in itself the meaning of their life), and children (filling the earth and striving for eternity; of course, not always, but again, they do not in themselves constitute the meaning of life), and inheritance ( wealth- works, deeds, etc.; for the idealist, they should serve only as an aid to spiritual affairs). But the most important thing is what you take with you. This is what you yourself lived for. This is what made up the meaning of your life. And here the whole question will be whether you lived in such a way as to inherit eternal life in the new world, is there something in your soul that is capable of living in it and what will remain for it?
A person is not born in order to disappear without a trace as a speck of dust unknown to anyone. A person is born in order to leave a mark on himself - eternal.
Man leaves himself first of all in man. This is our immortality. We live in order to imprint ourselves in a son or daughter, in order to live in their passions and work. This is the highest happiness and the meaning of life. If you want to stay in the human heart, raise your children. The upbringing of a person is the most important social duty.
On how clearly a person sees the highest meaning of his being in fatherhood and motherhood, his moral character depends. Our important educational mission is to ensure that the person we create is responsible not only for his current behavior, but also for the future, and the future is the mind, feelings, beliefs of a living person, whose roots are laid in the present. On the day the girls come of age, when they turn sixteen, I tell them the Ukrainian legend "Who is the most skilled craftsman on earth."
I strive to ensure that all the years of schooling a person comprehends a very subtle and complex science - the ability to see oneself. For everyone to think already in adolescence: what am I able to leave in people, in work, in living and blooming? What even a small drop of me will enter the eternal ocean of human existence?
What does that require? How to conduct educational work in this direction?
To see himself, a small person must learn to see life. To see a person, to understand and feel the beauty in him, to admire and be amazed by it, to correlate himself with what he saw and understand, as if trying on his own merits with what he considers a model. I consider it very important to tell teenagers, boys and girls about their lives. About what a person has done in his life, how he reports to the generations that take over from him the baton of creativity, creation, as in the story of a bright human life - "The happiest man on earth."
You are stepping into life, young men and women. Before you is the sun of your captivating day - it has just risen above the horizon, its path is still ahead. You plow the land and build houses, build bridges and graze cattle, rejoice at the arrival of birds from a warm land and worry about the fate of a tender blade of grass - a green sprout of wheat, go on distant campaigns and shoot at the enemy if he decides to violate the sacred borders of our Motherland. In all this you will leave some grain of your soul, mind, talent. But you can fully invest your soul only in a person. Do not forget that you are to be fathers and mothers. In fatherhood and motherhood - the most difficult labor wisdom. This is work, work and a thousand times more work. You will have to listen with bated breath to the cry of a newborn son, father (I am addressing you now as future fathers). You will have to give birth to sons and daughters in pain and anguish, mother (I am addressing you as future mothers). Going to distant life path, remember that you need to take with you as much riches as possible from adolescence and youth - you need these riches for the creation of Man.
There is a folk tale about the Hollow Flower Man. This man loved to sing, have fun, he could not linger in one place for a long time - he constantly moved from a green field to a flowering meadow, from a flowering meadow to a shady grove. And so his son was born. The Barren Flower Man hung the cradle on an oak branch and sits singing. And the son is growing by leaps and bounds. He jumped out of the cradle, went up to his father and said:
“Father, show me what you have done with your own hands?”
The father was surprised at such wise speeches of his son, he smiled. Thinking about what to show your son? The son is waiting, but the father is silent, and he stopped singing. The son looks at the tall oak and asks:
“Maybe it was you who planted the oak?”
Father bowed his head, silent.
The son of his father led him into the field, looked at the full ear of wheat, and asked:
- Maybe it was you who grew the ear?
The father bowed his head even lower, silent.
The son and father came to a deep u, the son looks at the blue sky reflected in the water, and says:
- Father, say a wise word ...
And the Hollow Flower Man not only cannot do anything with his hands, but he also cannot say a wise word. He bowed his head even lower and was silent... And so he turned into an empty grass. It blooms from spring to autumn, but does not give fruits or seeds.
Like the greatest grief, be afraid, young men and girls, to enter life as an empty flower. You will be ashamed in front of your son, in front of your daughter, in front of people for a life lived without a trace.
It’s scary at the thought that this could be: an old person walks the earth, as if he deserves respect, but it turns out that no one knows who this person is, and he deserves neither respect nor memory.
I often tell teenagers and young men about a respected, worthy person who has passed away, trying to awaken an ardent desire to leave a bright mark on the earth after me. These stories are grains that make up the living history of our time. To convey to the consciousness, to the soul of a teenager the meaning of a rich, rich life given to people is not a memorial for the dead, but a hymn to life.
