Remembrance..?
"How would you like to be remembered?" he asked. Asking how you want to be remembered after you are gone sounds like a funny question don't you think? No one knows how they are remembered nor does anyone ever experience it and yet for some reason we still ask ourselves these sorts of questions. Its a paradox really to want something after I'm dead but only be able to want anything while I am alive. The question is really more about what I want to imagine while I'm alive then isn't it? What I want to convince myself is my life could be for and far beyond my own life. Seeing as how I can only imagine beyond my own life, while my own life still exists. If I were to humor the question though I don't think i would want to say that- I want to be remembered as significant or influential or smart or famous or wealthy or powerful or successful. That I changed the world in some way. All of that would suggest that- i can know what any of that even means...
