It doesn't affect anything. Sure, I may have changed how others felt. But even if I ceased to exist, or have never been born, I doubt things would have changed much. I'm not like most people, I enjoy changing others while I live, but for the betterment. However, if I ceased to exist, there would be someone else to replace me that will help others. I think of it as this way, I am 'one' person out of millions. Only a few great individuals that really pushed themselves changed the world: "Martin Luther King, Jr.", etc.
Unless I did something drastic that impacted how the world shaped and changed, I view myself as insignificant. I think of it as a hierarchy. There are the upper class that got there by pure determination, the ones that were born smart, or the ones that were just rich. If you somehow got your ass up the ladder and found a way to impact society, so be it. Your life will bear significance in the world. If you're just an ordinary human that changed the people around you, it's still an insignificant impact. Changing a small group of people < changing the world or a country.
So no, my life would bear of no importance. I have a rather pessimistic view on life when it comes to others and myself. Though this doesn't change the fact that I enjoy helping others just because I like doing it, and because it's the right thing to do.
