Exactly why I take the liberty to make my own words and use more suitable, more precise definition for words I use, at least when thinking to myself, I debilitate my language for communicating with others sake.

"I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am

Remember my name, fame
I'm gonna live forever..."

 

Good bye Irene Cara.

The reason she never had another hit was she sued for royalties, and while she won for all her current work, she was blackballed from the industry after that.

Old friend of mine died recently.  Not unexpected as he was both old, as well as in not the greatest health.  Will sure miss him.  Fair winds and following seas, Dave.

Weird thinking of some of these people as old or gone (or myself for that matter). I don't think any of us ever thought the dream had an ending and that our friends would always be there. But those of us that are left will do our best to always remember... and stay "forever young".

One of the truly unnerving parts about death is the fact that you actually die twice.  The first time physically.  The second time when the last person who remembers you (either the 'real' you, or at least your name and what you were famous for: Einstein, Attila the Hun, etc.) dies.  And one has to really question whether someone who "remembers" you for your name and what you were famous for really knew you at all.

Every time I get to thinking about that, I think of another friend who died "early", and her statement of "I'll always remember you.", and then realizing that, no, it is I who will "always" remember her; at least until I die.  At which point I'm quite sure I'll be the last person alive to remember her, and it will be as if she never even existed.  That's scary.

I mean, life is pointless yet... Meaningful at the same time.

 

An enigma to us in this contemporary time, perhaps there's an ultimate something beyond what we're able to perceive and be aware of, perhaps it all truly is useless.

 

That's why I don't care about anything that doesn't hinder my freedom to live as I please and avoid all that does including acts on my part; embracing life's pointlessness, even if only a blissfully ignorant guess on a grand, cosmic scale, allows me to live like everyday's the last whilst knowing it isn't. That's why I believe what meaning life has has to be decided by one's own self, lest one be a flesh and blood machine waiting for command inputs.

 

It doesn't matter to be remembered anyway, come thousands of years and beyond, it's very highly too likely not to be the case that something does happen and create knowledge to take setbacks, Einstein, Cæsar, Adolves and Rudolves, all the crap in our history books are going to be forgotten anyway, and quite frankly most historical facts lose their relevance and importance as time goes so even if no such setback occurs I'd bet people somewhen in the future will willingly forget things once any lesson they can take from these facts is had.

 

As a personal belief, the only things that truly matter are personal happiness and what induces such so long as it doesn't impede on another's ability to seek so as well.

 

Sure, there are issues that affect us all such as planet-wide catastrophies, space rocks playing pool with our little blue-striped ten, pollution, hunger and myriad of other party-bummers but my ideas don't necessarily imply not fixing anything for the sake of just revelling until something hits the fan but rather to work towards averting crisises so that we all may keep seeking wholesome enjoyment for everyone.

 

In my opinion we should enjoy ourselves whilst we can, no matter what, how, when or whence, and if one is to delve out of their own selfish good time then help others have good times too - because why not!

 

Life is too much suffering to care about stuff we can't handle properly whilst we can't handle being entertained, nevermind being happy thus nevermind being united to fix these things we're so bored we bother for.

 

Life should be lived not in the fear of being forgotten but in the fear of forgetting not enjoying one's self during one's life.

 

Otherwise life often becomes an hell of senseless blandness and all too commonly occurring streak of sufferous events, no matter how slight, all adding up into a bouquet of soul-deep hurt and wasteful pointlessness and squandered potential for true, fulfilling happiness.

 

--Not to mistake though, keeping high the memorial torch of nostalgia, burning as the pyre of our lost loved ones and time-stricken significant people held in high esteem is something inevitable for most, only, making mourning one's main life's reason often leads to unhappiness. Morne.

 

Anyway, in short, please don't fear oblivion, just as death is equally dispensed amongst all humans, we all are forgotten eventually - the only oblivion I fear is forgetting whilst alive.

 

And sorry for getting intent on the keyboard, it somehow unravelled haha. Gong's out and all if you catch me.

'It's not the destination that counts, but the journey.' you say? Strongly agree.

I have a religious outlook (meaning I am a christian, but one of those who was born and raised with Roman Catholicism traditions), do believe in some degree of immortality, but it is more akin to the lessons taught to me by my father, who got it from his father and so on, meaning that perhaps there is some Roman Legionnaire who has a very similar approach to service and life as I., because I am his descendant.   That is certainly one way to "live forever".

Ozzy died back in Oct. and this is the first I've heard. So many memories of times listening to his music. Died on stage I think? The way he probably wanted to go.
