Will you be Remebered?

[[.redacted]]

In death, I will careth not.

Absolutely butchered old English, but completely agreed.

When you die, you will have no mind nor senses, so it is completely irrelevant if you are remember or not - eternal nothingness.

Edit: I haven't answered the question.

I don't know yet whether or not I will be remembered, but should it become that important to me I can tell you this:

I will make certain that I am, through whatever means necessary.

Second Edit: It doesn't actually matter at all anyway, as we would only be remembered by the human race, which is (in the grand scheme of things) a tiny fragment of existence that itself will be forgotten soon.

I don't really care, as long as I manage to start a family and my kids remember me. For me it's not how I'll be remembered after my journey to the end, it's the journey itself, that matters.

At least that's my take on it.

 

[Vohn_exel]

You have no idea how much this thought plagues me. In the end, I know I probably will not be. I wanted to leave my mark on this world, and at least be mentioned or remembered for years to come. I'm 26 now, and I'm not some famous singer, and I haven't written any groundbreaking novels, and thats pretty much the only two things I can do. Write, and sing, and I can't seem to combine the two skills. It looks as if I'm fated to fade into obscurity.

 

[binvjoh]

Maybe. I'm confident at least some people will remember me for around one or two generations after my death. Though whether or not I will make any significant impact on history only time will tell.

At least I still (hopefully) have a lot of time left.

 

[Thundero13]

Remebered? I think you need to work on your spelling, anyway i'll just remembered as that gay weirdo from school.

 

[Stephanos132]

Nope, pretty easy to forget I exist when I'm alive, why should death be any different?

 

[DSK-]

I damn well better be remembered. I've helped out a great many people, achieved a fair amount and have a very unique and friendly personality. I think I deserve to be remembered

 

[Zhukov]

Phht. No.

Only the extremely arrogant or utterly deluded believe their memory will outlast their lifespan by any significant degree.

I honestly don't know why people obsess over being remembered.

 

[Communist partisan]

I don't fear death I don't fear getting forgotten but it would be nice knowing your gran-gran-gran-gran-gran-gran-children know who you are and acculy know where you are burried

 

[Gilhelmi]

Yes, my friends and family will. I have left word with my brother, who will be the executor of my estate, to start a thread and tell people here I am gone and then PM a mod to lock my account. I have taken measures to make sure my friends at many locations, who only have my telephone number, will also be informed.

In the Army, we are told to set our affairs in order before we go anywhere. I may be leaving next July so I am reading things now.

 

[DemonicVixen]

I highly doubt it.

Even if i got my name in the paper it would probably be for something tiny and daft which would be forgotten about within a few DAYS of it being shown.

 

[Tucker154]

Never cared about leaving a mark.I live a nice,quiet life, and thats how I like it.So the answer is no,I guess. Unless sometime in the future I pusue a goal and become remember for it unitensionaly, I wont be rembered at all.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Wow, this was not a good thread for me to stumble into while super depressed...

 

[Gigano]

Unless by chance I happen upon some major shed of glory, or insanely decide on some serious Herostratic fame, I certainly won't be remembered by history. Which is just fine, there won't be a "me" to appreciate such remembrance anyway.

 

[Disaster Button]

I doubt it. That's my worst fear actually, not dying, but being forgotten.

Question: is it better to be remember by people you know or those close to you? What I am thinking about specifically is like you neglecting your family to be remembered in history for something or not.

I'd like to be remembered for who I am, and neglecting my family isn't one of those things. Abandoning the people close to me isn't worth being remembered (I think - sometimes I feel like it would be when I get really down) but I would rather be remembered by those close to me if I had to choose.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I will be remembered as the first and last politician to ever enter the House of Commons with honest, good intentions (For the people, not other MPs).
Or, at least, if I decide to turn my strengths towards that, it is possible.
If I do ever become an MP, I will be an MP of the people, not an MP for myself, like most others, especially the Tories >.>
If I don't do that, then I doubt I will ever be remembered.

 

[smithy_2045]

I more than likely won't be remember, and I'm ok with that.

 

[RandallJohn]

I plan to work behind the scenes. I'm studying various forms of media that aren't known for drawing fame. I dream of having my work globally recognizable, but I think my name will only be known to those who go looking for it. So no, I don't expect to be remembered.

Anyway, I'd rather go out loved by family and friends than remembered.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Nah. I'm beyond insignificant.
I don't even have any opportunities to do anything important. Hell, my sibling's grandkids won't know who the fuck I was.
I'm okay with that.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I don't leave much of an impact where I am, and I tend to be quiet. So I wouldn't be remembered by anybody that I don't already know and love.
