We all want to be known or remembered for something. Some people’s biggest fears are being forgotten once life has passed them by. We all try to do something extraordinary that makes us stick out from the others. We also tend to do things or will keep materialistic things to remember our loved ones who have passed too. Most people while they are younger and even some older will fear death. It’s not death itself they fear but what will happen after death and will anyone remember them or will everything perish into the dark. Do you ever think about what will happen when you are gone?
Being Extraordinary and remembered.
We all want to be remembered for something. We want our loved ones (especially our kids and grandkids) to look back on life and remember how we were awesome, and we did cool stuff or had cool stuff. We are afraid of being forgotten or if our life will vanish into darkness and then there will be nothing. A lot of our fears come from not knowing. We are afraid that we will not be remembered, and family will not remember us for generations. Are you afraid of not being remembered?
How can we be remembered?
Many of us will try to do many things to be remembered by. Some people will donate money to get their name on a plaque. This is not the only reason they donate money, but it defiantly helps sometimes persuades people to donate more money. Some famous writers, actors, singers and even YouTubers or TikTokers will try to get known because of their fame and followers. Everyone wants to be remembered for something. They want someone to look up to them and remember them years after they are gone. People want their memories to live on forever. People love to talk about their history. Then their family can imagine what life was in their eyes. Photos will help keep our memories alive years after we are gone. With TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook our memories can live on for many, many years after we pass. Sometimes a memory of us will live on forever without us ever realizing it. We could have lent a helping hand to someone in need and here we just were doing it from the kindness of our heart. But that person who you lent a hand to remembers it and tells the story to their kids and grandkids which gets told for generations and generations. What do people look up to for?
What I want to be remembered for!
I want to be remembered for my generosity in helping others. I want to be remembered by my crafts, my blogs and how I had a solution to most problems. I don’t think I would ever want to be famous. But I do want my family’s name to live on forever. I want the generations of my family to remember who I was and what I did through my life. As like some people the wonders of what happens after death crosses my mind. Although I am not afraid of death, I am afraid of being forgotten. Maybe this is why some people have huge headstones or mausoleums. Do you think there is more to after our life than death itself?
