User ID: 66609223 United States 07/22/2021 12:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Dad was an awesome, well-liked man. I am proud to be his son. When he passed away, I realized his service and funeral had about 1/3 as many people as I envisioned. Then I realized he had outlived every parent in our neighborhood and all but a handful of friends. There were still maybe 250 acquaintances, family, and friends, but not the thousand or so I pictured. Quoting: SoulWinner He was the epitome of decency and integrity. He wasn't perfect, and he knew that. But the truth is, increasingly fewer even remember who he was. It's a cold reality that we are as vapor. But I still honor him and look forward to seeing him and Mom again. ^ THIS ^ Is exactly what I hope that I am worthy enough to be remembered for, at the end. That I was my Father's son, and honored him. Yes, me too. ...Loving souls, starving trolls... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72552145 Then eventually our children and grandchildren will too and our memory will be forgotten. So it doesn’t matter what we will be “remembered” for. You’re missing the point. When you depart from here, you’ll have definitely left an impact on someone, it will either be positive or negative. And it does matter. How we treat people and how we live our lives Impacts everyone around us. Someone will remember you and it will either be a good memory or a bad one. Only you can help shape the outcome. |

Far too many who have done much more than I are forgotten the week after they die. What's important is what you did to help others.. It's like doing the right thing, you do it because it's right, not because there's any reward or prize or a legacy thing. That's what matters, legacy is for people like the Clinton's, it's usually fake and worthless.... Those you helped and loved is what matters not the remembrance, God knows. |

My Fear
User ID: 78963904 United States 07/22/2021 01:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All of us will die. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72552145 Then eventually our children and grandchildren will too and our memory will be forgotten. So it doesn’t matter what we will be “remembered” for. Exactly! If you can't make and impact when you are alive, what difference will your life make when you are dead? In history, people are usually remembered for the tyrants they were, not the contributions they made for any longer than five minute after they die. Most people lament of the tragedy that came to be, not how a person change and enriched their lives. Truth is people want to believe they are where they are at, because they are better than the rest and did it all themselves. They forget about those that helped build their lives, as soon as they have made to to where they are at. After that they want to be admired and looked up to as pillars of their community, weather they have helped anyone or not. It is hypocritical for them to worry about how others will remember them after they die. But, they gave great presentations professionally and nice dinner parties. |
