Even if you make in impact in this world, it will be gone and you will be forgotten. Everyone of us will be forgotten sooner or later.

I see what you mean, I think.

Sure. Everything is impermanent. But disregarding the meaningfulness of positive impact because of this fact is actually not necessary. In fact it is very useless, and defeatist. An action or impact can be meaningful and impermanent. The very fact that it’s done in the face of its impermanence can give it meaning. Besides, if things weren’t impermanent, new phenomena could not appear. There would be no birth.
