RIP Leonard Nimoy

Recommended Posts

At some point before he had to leave us, Leonard Nimoy has extended an offer to the world to be anyone's honorary grandfather.

 

I felt far more moved by this than by his leaving us. I feel so very inclined and motivated to accept such an offer, and to ensure that for all the good that Nimoy had been inspired to do for the world, (and there was certainly much of it.) I have been inspired to honor his memory through my own aspirations for the betterment of the lives of those around me; people who similarly wish all the best for those around them, and so on and so on.

 

While spending the rest of the evening listening to him narrate assorted interesting things, I will be reading about his own thoughts pertaining to the world and those who live in it, as well as what he believed in and how he fought for it. His Jewish upbringing and occasional bouts with antisemitism were a core element of his life, and there are still things that can be learned from him today from how he dealt with them.

 

He was on my own personal remarkably very short list of people who must never die. Although his various legacies will certainly never succumb to the ravages of time, I feel confident that he will live on through the people whose lives have been touched by him in some significant way.

 

I know mine has. LLAP, dearest friends.

 

I would like to end this post on a high note, however.

Don Knotts, Michael Jackson, Macho Man Randy Savage, Andy Griffith, Sherman Helmsley, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Bearer, Paul Walker, James Avery, The Ultimate Warrior, Casey Kasem, Robin Williams, etc., and now this man.

 

My childhood's crumbling away, and I don't like it.

"Live long and prosper." Your character was a wonderful creation from Gene Roddenberry. But the man behind those ears was a true testament of the arts today and definitely one of a kind to say the least.

In a world where so many celebs seem to die in tragedy, at least he was one of the few who went away peacefully. A part of American culture. A part of my childhood. 

He was there in the tribute for when Roddenberry passed on. Now he will be joining Gene within the stars. 

 

I'm pretty sure somepony somewhere is going "Aren't Vulcans supposed to live to be like, I dunno, a thousand?" He'd probably get a laugh at that. 

Right now I'm listening to this. Pretty fitting.
