Love to die peacefully. heroism would be nice for the 15 mins ppl remember how you died, after that no one would remember or care because they'd be side tracked by some new scandal in the media. your mark on the world/good deed erased due to some lieing politician, murder, bank robbery, or pretty much everything else in this world.
and the more i think about it, the less i care about future generations remembering me. it doesn't matter if 100 years from now ppl remember my name, as they won't know who I was. Only the ppl who know me personally will know that... and in 10,000 years when ppl no longer inhabit this planet, will even that matter? I mean... sure we remember shakespear, but do you know what type of person was or only for his writting?
When I die I just want those I've been close to or hopefully help remember me, not neccesarily for myself either... I just want my loved ones to hopefully learn what they could from me, my actions, way of life, ideas... then they spread what they've learned to other ppl. in that way at least who I am can be passed on to other generations and not some false image of me. (sorry, kind of a hard concept to put into words... :P )
after that, I want to be creamated and my ashes poured into some river. as for the funeral, I don't want it to be mournful... asking a lot, but yeah... i want ppl to be happy that I was a part of their life and a positive one at that. I don't want the loss to overshadow the gain...
