Slayer, how true. The dead are soon forgotten by most but not by those they are close to like a sibling or spouse.

Colorado, my kids are grown and gone and living their lives. But I do understand. It's so very important when you are in the 'mom' phase of your life. Getting them established to succeed no matter what comes their way.

Trin, you are the only one who sees yourself as a loser. I see you as a sensitive, vibrant human being that I like very much.

luke, I agree with you. Maybe I won't take it as far as you would, but I'd like to pay tribute to this body that has served me very well in this lifetime.

My life is pretty unremarkable but I accept that. I don't get the concept on needing to be remembered but thats just me really.

Other than inspiring others when I'm alive, MisterHunter want to slip away silently.

Death is only an transformation, i do not worry about my reputation after i leave this life.

Many people throughout history have been remembered, even stories past down from ancient times. There have also even been movies an tv series's made from people lives (sometimes not so accurate to the history, but still) or how about the music some people made? they have left the earth but there music is still here an you can hear them still and people remember them.

Yeah maybe because those were regarded as famous and important people of that time. But a common civilian with a boring background like me isn't worth anything, so it seems unlikely that one day in the future some random dude suddenly comes up with the idea of ''Hey, let's make a movie about SlayerOfLight!''. This pretty much counts for anyone who doesn't have an important status in life though. But let me reveal a secret: I don't really care.

You make a valid point Nature. But like Slayer says not the average Joe.

You made me smile Slayer with your revealed secret. I agree.

I don't care about it either.. It's the ego that wants to be remembered and have a big name, even if it's based on good qualities. Let other people decide whom you were, how you feel about it yourself can never quite match how someone else feels anyway, so to worry or ponder about it seems a waste of time..

The best thing that can happen is that if we die we meet the new reality with open eyes and shed the old. No point being stuck in the past..

I hadn't thought of that angle Altair. Yes, it's the ego that wants the fame.
