Would you rather be remembered and hated (like Hitler), or forgotten altogether?

Question

Would you rather be remembered and hated (like Hitler), or forgotten altogether?

Answer 1

Not everyone hated Hitler. Many considered him the saviour of Germany's economic situation. It is the fate of us all to be forgotten eventually. All memories are coloured by the individual remembering.

Answer 2

I would much rather be forgotten than hated and remembered forever. If it was liked and remembered forever like MLK, then thats a different story :) I choose to be a good person and I guess, for most people, that means you will be forgotten.

Answer 3

I would like to think that at this point I have not offended and made anyone hate me. That is not in my nature, and I do not like that word hate. I feel like it is so harsh, judgmental, and never a term that anyone would use to describe me.  So, I am going to have to go with the latter, being forgotten in this world.  In some cases, being forgotten cannot be helped. We have family members who have Alzheimers, who don't remember the face they stare into everyday, the same face that has been in their lives for many, many years.  

If we can be forgotten by those we love without an option, and those are the ones we would hope we could count on, then what would it really matter if all those on the outside never remembered us?

This is why today matters. Start working on your essence on the inside, which is your soul. Learn who you are, and why the way you think that you do. The more you understand about yourself the better you are to be sensitive and approach those who have meaning in your life. When you put down that guard, are a little vulnerable, and let someone in, you are giving a small piece of yourself ( your soul ) away. Every little piece of your soul will live on and be remembered and LOVED!

Answer 4

I'd like to be loved, idolised and remembered... like elvis..

A name in history will not mean much if your descendants have to pay the price for your infamy.  

Answer 5

Wow that's such a powerful question you know?

I have two answers to your question:

-One, I rather die and be forgotten, I don't want to exhale my last breath knowing that people will remember me as a negative figure and that for probably a long, long time.

-Two, I rather be remembered and hated, because every hated person in history has had fans of all kind!

Thank you.

Answer 6

Whether you are remembered or not, every action you have

committed is indelibly fixed in history and can never be erased.

What's the point in the remembrance? A big ego trip?

Answer 7

Remembered and hated, of course.I believe most of us crave for immortality of some sort.Being an anti-hero is not that bad either, there are groups of people out there, on the cult side, who will praise you anyway.

Answer 8

I'm expecting many to say that they would rather not be remembered.  HOWEVER, what if by making the world remember you, you taught them a lesson, just like Hitler might have?  Perhaps the world might need a lesson or two sometime...

:O  (About to get v&)

Answer 9

Everyone gets forgotten eventually. Someone always does something better to surpass us

Answer 10

I don't care if people hate me, or forget me all together, as long as I have changed the world for the better.

People can hate Hitler all they want, but this is ignorant.  They ignore what Hitler could have done, what he was capable of.  In 100 at least, more people will begin to realize how Hitler could have made the world better.  

People don't hate him, they fear him, because they fear change.  He was ready to change the world far greater than he had changed Germany.
