What Legacy do you want people to remember you by when you die?

My History teacher, Ms. Poodle(Not her real name), asked our class this question. She didn't really wait for anyone of us to answer, but It did made me curious...

@msloonytwoshoes i had a soul.
i had a home, school, and dream life, and whenever they wanted, they just mingled with each other and i accepted that i couldn't do anything about that.

I don't particularly care if I'm remembered, but I do hope a lot of people benefit by the research I've done and accumulated for them to access - at no charge - from multiple websites and from the local historical society.
I have no desire to leave a big hole when I go - and I won't need a big hole when I go. After the organ harvest, the ashes will be scattered in my favorite cemeteries where I'll be meeting all the people I'm researching now. Or not.

I just want to be remembered for being a gracious person who didn't just care about herself.

I wanna be remembered for being kind to people and being there for them. That, and my achievements as a musician and an artist.

@justinsreality That's a good one.

Mainly for being a good person. I hope I don't die soon, my legacy would be lacking... Not in goodness, just in acts. I haven't really "done" anything great yet.

I dont want to be remembered. There is a beauty to writing my words using things that wont last... Things that will deteriorate and dissipate. It makes room for the next generation and whatever mess they create. History is only for those willing to leave something behind. I will un-hinder my ancestors and let them have their own traditions.

I wanna be the guy who wasn't Brad Pitt in Fight Club was too scared to be, but I don't want to be the guy in Fight Club that Brad Pitt was incapable of being.

My goal and dream is my legacy to be my children. I hope that people say that my sons grew up to be healthy, balanced, happy and faithful. I will be satisfied with that

For unconditionally loving people. That's what I want to be able to do while I'm alive, but as for when I'm dead, I almost don't even care if I am remembered, per se. I know I've been inspired by others, and hopefully I'll inspire some people in my life, and people will carry that love with them. But after I die, I doesn't make a difference to me if they remember me at all.

I'd like to be the person remembered for actually living a happy, positive life.
So many people are negative and unsatisfied.
I don't want to be like that.

Being the goofy weird-o in the room that got everyone to smile.

For making a difference, small or large, in the lives of many. A good and helpful difference, I should add.

as I've said before as an answer to this question:
I am happier to have known him
than I am sorry that he's gone.

As someone who lived to be at least 150 years old.

as Zamfir - but in my fantasy...

as the person who was key in the initiation of the collapse and disintegration of the Catholic Church and the dawning of the new era of enlightenment.

which would be nice...

just so long as nobody used it as an excuse to start a new organised religion...

I'd hope I am remembered as a good father, husband, and friend. Beyond that, it's all cherries.
