Kinda a thought that pops into my head from time to time about if people that lived well before writing wanted to leave an eternal legacy and at best we see their remains dressed in ornaments.
It’s interesting to think that someone that lived 50k years ago paved a path for me in the sense that they probably exploded lands weren’t known to their tribe or human at the, found new edible plants, or maybe created a new tool.
Crazy to think that there’s billions of humans that I contributed to the life I have know and their names have long since been lost to time and that what I do today can still affect someone well into the future


None of the 4 tones of the pinyin “long” even sound like “long” in English. I mean the “o” does not represent the same sound.
Sorry if I sound like I’m trying to start a debate for no reason, but as a native Mandarin speaker, it kinda triggers my OCD xD
Lóng… Long… It sounds very similar
