Your Dash

I came upon a poem, film; well, it was a bunch of stuff about the book called The Dash.
What it amounts to is you are born and you die. The Dash between your Birth and Death is the only thing that is important. It's what you did during that time that shows who you really are or were.
Your dash is an example of how you lived your life. Your Dash can be good or it can be bad. What it is is up to you. Did you do something to improve the Human Condition somehow or somewhere? Maybe you dedicated your life to being a complete Asshole.
I AM an English teacher and I have lived in about 13 different countries. I like to think I did something with my life that indicates that I tried to improve the Human Condition. think about it. Just what has your Dash been about?
