I have finally come to the age where I come to the sad debate of whether it would be better to die as a non-existent character on this planet or to die being hated and remembered by everyone.
I always thought the answer to this was pretty simple and straightforward. Nobody wants to be hated right? Or at least if you get to choose between being liked and being hated, it's simpler to just pick the former. But the thought of dying as if you have not lived at all is a scary thought to have.
Imagine having to live through all that shit in your life only to realise on your death bed that NO ONE outside your tiny circle of friends and family would actually notice that you are gone. Kind of pitiful, although it probably applies to a majority of the population on the planet.
Unable to come to terms with such a sad fate, I have decided that the only way to solve this predicament is to get fame and glory.
Ah yes! Imagine being in the limelight, being hated and loved by crowds of unknown strangers. Being worshipped and spitted on at the same time. Ahh... the euphoria of it all... thinking about this just makes me giddy with excitement.
Shallow? I think not. It definitely beats living like you have never existed before.
What does a guy need to do to get fame around here?!
