I couldn't care less whether I'm remembered after I'm dead. Even if some people do remember me, that is also only a temporary condition, and eventually all remembrance of my having existed will be gone, as will any effects of my actions. Even such people as Hitler, Caesar, Jesus and Buddha will eventually be forgotten, why should I be any different, and why should I care? Being remembered for a time won't do me the slightest bit of good, or bad.
