Serious question, what will people say about you when you die?

[cephissus]

If each us meant Jack squat, then society wouldn't progress...to assume the "we don't mean anything" mentality, is the same type of "why should achieve anything, because I don't mean Jack squat."
Do you think the rich, the powerful, the educated, and the ones who have contributed greatly to society believes the same thing?

boom.

Don't confuse the greed for money or the hunger for power with the belief that ultimately any of it is relevant in the grand scheme of things.

you know that this is a forum where guys talk about lifting weights, right?

...and most guys at the gym won't give a shit if you die anyways.... It just means less competition at the squat-rack.

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

vs.
Character is the one thing we make in this world and take with us into the next.
The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation;
The truth you believe determines your character.
Reputation is what you are supposed to be;
Character is what you are.
Reputation is the photograph;
Character is the face.
Reputation comes over one from without;
Character grows up from within.
Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community;
Character is what you have when you go away.
Reputation is made in a moment;
Character is built in a lifetime.
Your reputation is learned in an hour;
Your character doesn’t come to light for a year.
Reputation grows like a mushroom;
Character grows like the oak.
A single newspaper report gives you your reputation;
A life of toil gives you your character.
Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor;
Character makes you happy or makes you miserable.
Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone;
Character is what angels say about you before the throne of God.

Cool shit - haven't heard that before.

All I care about is not to mourn..Cremate me, stick me in a vase, no funeral, have a party with wings and beer.

All that matters is what my daughter(hope she says I was a good mom), family and a few close friends think.

Hope you all have wills, and durable health power of attorney ready. Don't want to be on any life support for more than 7 days, yank it pull the plug. Don't stick in me in the ground, no headstone, those are my wishes

[Tito24]

i hope craig titus will attend my funeral

[oldtimer1]

When they see me in the casket I hope they say he looked better when he was alive.

[Fallsview]

I hear alot about cremation, when I die, I'd like to be cream-filled like a nice doughnut.  Then go down on HWY 1 and dump me off the Bixby bridge watching my body explode with all that bavarian creamy goodness.


STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[newmom]

I bet she is telling herself, I'm happy the way I look, bla bla bla..Wow memories of me being a fat ass

[Butterbean]

Ya but I think he's talking about the larger picture. Most of our friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc will move on pretty quickly.

Agree

[jaejonna]

i hope craig titus will attend my funeral

I would certainly attend my good friend....and stand over your coffin as it lowers into the ground and light one up so that your soul will be carried away with the smoke from the kush green ambers.....then proceed to place a picture irrelevant to the event but nonetheless humorous.

''Fucker owed me a $100.00"...."wait,me too"

Cool shit - haven't heard that before. 

I saw the o e by W H Davis in a Christian bookstore---it had a unique frame, kinda thick, they wanted $98 for it. I said to myself, "Eff That, I will not have the REPUTATION of a SUCKER."

''Fucker owed me a $100.00"...."wait,me too"

Yeah. Beat me to it.
