Discussion Are we all going to be forgotten?

[Roadrunner]

Just walk around a graveyard and look at how many markers look unvisited etc. most people are forgotten after one or two generations. IMHO

pretty much, our lives are symbolised by a dashed line between birth and death. Every experience and relationship will be symbolised by some carved line between some numbers on a stone. Bright side, you will still have an impact, probably for all of time. The universe is deterministic so your energy and matter will be dispersed, and you will have played some role in history in being a member of a society or producing in an economy, you just won't be unique, but ultimately none of us will. Your life still happened, good or bad, and no one can change that

I think I don't care, I've always been like a living ghost. I have very little interaction with people, my family is small and they don't care much about me either..

I am sad that my "imaginary friends" will be leaving with me too. They are very good people, I wish they would come to life before then.

Especially when life has made it so hard for you that you have been inhibited to its trauma and delt with people who take everything seriously and judged you as a human existing alongside them and caring deeply about their own lives in this stupid world…

The fact that all will be forgotten about in death is exactly why it's a relief for me, I only hope to be permanently unconscious with this existence no longer my problem, I just want to forget about this torturous, futile existence that just causes pointless suffering with no limit as to how much agony one can feel, to me human existence truly does feel like the most terrible mistake, I'd be so relieved to permanently cease existing and never suffer ever again. Of course I wish I could erase my existence so it's like I never suffered, I want it to be like I never existed at all as I truly never should have been forced into this existence, I find it a tragedy how this existence was even imposed at all.

Most likely, I don't see how they will ever remember me for the rest of their life's.

We are all forgotten eventually, but who cares if someone in the future who we never met knows about us.

It only matters if the people you care about remember you and how they remember you, everything else is redundant.

Some people here will want their loved ones to remember them fondly, others not, then some like myself wish we could be forgotten be it so of no impact to others or they simply never wanted to exist in the first place.
