Making a mark or being remembered for making a mark. See one could be a great positive force for change and yet no-one knows about it. Or one could make a mark negative enough to be hated. (Under these very arbitrary conditions.) I would think the deed is greater than the memory of the deed. The only way I could see choosing the legacy one is if you're going to pull a Batman- everyone's scapegoat, but you actually were objectively a force for positive change. | ||

If i end up being forgotten to the sands of time after my grandchildren are dead, then i'll go the exact same way that almost every single one of our great-great-grandfathers have gone. I mean think about it, just because you're forgotten, doesn't mean you weren't important. Can you trace your lineage all the way back to an original civilization? All those people from then to now lived, and died, and are completely forgotten. No less important than you or i | ||

I can imagine, that relatives of deeply hated, dead people are having a hard time dealing with insults/maybe even physical attacks. Being a hated person even after your death is nothing someone can be proud of imo. | ||

It makes me think about people like Anders Breivik and other nutheads or mass murderers like Hitler, Stalin ... throught time and history. For the sake and respect of their victims I would like this stupid senseless thread to be closed because it does not serve any real discussion or has a valid purpose. | ||

Sure you don't mean it the other way around? Achilles sacrificed his immortality to achieve glory. Perhaps substitute glory for the good life? That analogy kind of works though it's still pretty abnormal given that Achilles achieved the figurative immortality talked about in this thread through his glorious actions. | ||

Forgotten is the obvious choice here. You could be the most disgusting, sick fuck in the world and have everybody forget about it. I don't even see how someone could choose the other option unless they just want to be hated or famous. | ||

If it was hated - that means I fucked up el grande and probally harmed people close to me. I simply cannot see myself do that.. I'd rather be forgotten than that. | ||

I have always thought my life goal was to leave a mark significant enough for people to remember it. But if it is for the cost of being hated... If I get hated it surely must mean that I did something very wrong, I don't think that is what I want to leave as a mark. I would take that as failing my life goal, being forgotten is also a fail but not as harsh.  Mega fail > fail (Bringing in Mathematics into this!)So yeah, I'd rather be forgotten. | ||
