Being remembered is one of the key motivations for almost everyone. They want to build a legacy and being remembered in a good way.
Sometimes, It doesn’t matter how hard you try, you can not change other’s opinion. This is also a very subjective topic. There are no hardline or written rules to be liked by everyone. On many occasions, you can not even break your own bias.
Let’s say, you will be remembered by millions of people. Every house will a picture of you. People will name their kids after you. Let’s go extreme, they will celebrate your birthday for hundreds of years. (Most of the cases very famous people will be forgotten after 2, maximum 3 generations. Look at the people early 20th Century, how many of them still be remembered? ). So?
You will be long gone, my friend. Does it really matter to be remembered?
