Will you be Remebered?

[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.

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.

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.

-Snip-
Colour me cynical, but I doubt that will happen; becoming an MP is easy enough, but acting in the peoples interest is pretty bottom rung for them; it'll be you vs everyone in that regard.

But the point is to actually try <3
Even if I fail, it could show the public just how little some MPs care about the people they are paid to serve <3
So I'd go in to better serve the people, lower MP wages, attack the millions of points being saved by councils for golden handshakes, etc <3
MPs are paid to serve the people, by the people <3
They aren't paid by the people to serve themselves, like they are doing >.>

 

[PurplePlatypus]

Don?t see the point. I?d rather be acknowledged and remembered during my life; once I die I don?t care if people remember me. I think maybe we get too caught up in remembering people and being interested in the individual, especially when we remember the person over the work we are supposed to be remembering them for.

 

[Jewrean]

If I ever get my book written and if it becomes popular then yes. Otherwise definitely not.

 

[Poopster]

I'm sure my family will remember me but other people...that i do not know

 

[Kevonovitch]

god i hope not, i don't want anybody at all, no matter who it is, remembering me when i'm dead.

 

[Nickisimo]

Probably not. If one of my books ever gets published and I can do that full time and make something great, there's a very slim chance; otherwise, no.

I mean, I can think of many ways to make myself remembered, but all of them are crimes.

 

[blippity]

It seems that recent generations feel this, given that we live in an 'immediate celebrity' age. The 15 minutes of fame was too short for some people and they want more. Of course this is merely a generalisation.

I personally do not care about being remembered, well not at least globally. Perhaps only family wise, in some family tree, but I don't seek the glorification from others so that my name can live on in the ages.

"will your work impact society and history or not?" (question mark inserted)

Everything we do in our work or in a social capacity has influence on history. Mostly it will often fall under the category of "being so insignificantly small that it makes no real impact globally, and not make us memorable". Mostly we are remembered by those close to us, those people who actually cared about us.

 

[Madara XIII]

Wait....are you trying to tell me what my title shall be!?

HOW DARE YOU!!! I will abuse every ounce of my power as I please!!! I shall SUE. SUE I TELL YOU SUUUUUUUE!!

Other than that I'm gonna really do everything I can to make sure the political world doesn't forget my crazy ass.

I say that because if you are labeling yourself with the drastic swing bi polar than you have to be pessimistic to the point of suicide half the day, and jumping off the walls and wandering into nowhere speaking mindless babble for the other half.

Hmmm seems no different than how I usually am XD

Nah, but seriously that'd be nuts if I actually became a Bi-polar lawyer

 

[Madara XIII]

I will be known as the Bi-Polar Lawyer!!!

You should totally get some business cards and hand them out to strangers while introducing yourself as the Bi-Polar Lawyer.

Also, to answer the question. No, I won't be remembered. Least not until I get caught for stashing the bodies of those two prostitutes into the flaming garbage can down by the lake.

2 prostitutes you say!? Well my good man considering I'm pursuing the field of prosecuting then by all means I'll be sure to remember you MWahahahaha

 

[darksakul]

Oh my god what kind of create I made with this thread.

Actually thou, just about everyone here made some valid points. It shows we got people of intellect and reason here at the escapist. I would just get a pile of steamy shit if I made the same post somewhere else on the internet. I shutter what the replys would be on 4Chan.
