<p>Or would you rather be known by many</p>
<p>What do you mean “unknown” - as in, I’ll have no one at my Funeral? Or unknown in the sense that my name won’t be recorded in History books. I presume it doesn’t matter if I’m incredibly famous or not I just want a “happy” life.</p>
<p>I don’t care about becoming famous, but I hope there are some people at my funeral.</p>
<p>I’d rather make an impact than be known for something. But I, too, would like to have some people remember me after my death.</p>
<p>Shakespeare’s Sonnet LV may be what you’re talking about, though.</p>
<p>LOL, I want people at my Funeral as well. I just don’t feel compelled to become some Internationally Known figure that will be remembered for thousands of years.</p>
<p>I would like to have made a positive impact in the world.
I would like to be well respected.</p>
<p>The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

<p>Obviously. Sometimes I wonder if the only purpose in my life is to make an impact in the world…which would probably make me “known”.</p>
<p>The mark of a righteous man is that he will die for his cause, while the mark of a scared man is that he will do whatever it takes to keep breathing.</p>

<p>Nope, I don’t care. The Universe is going to implode/die out anyways at some point. In the grand scheme of things, no amount of fame is going to make you permanent for this world.</p>
<p>
Why are you so sure?</p>
<p>Do any of these things look like a particularly happy ending?

<p>Alright, I’ll cede on that point. I think the bigger point is that no matter what you do, you’ll be unknown after some amount of time. I can hardly remember the names of important presidents anymore.</p>
