I agree, especially with what you said about people being remembered for the wrong things they've done. And your right, we'd never even know Hitler, or Stalin, or (Trump
) if they didn't do what they did. And also very accurate that it's a lot harder to be remembered for a good thing you did, Then theres most ppl who won't be remembered for anything (like me). -
It is true that we remember bad behaviors the most but I don't agree with your stance that it comes from wanting to promote it or to ideolize it.
The reason why we know about them is because we have been warned against their deeds in history. In a way it's more of a "don't let history repeat" sort of thing.
Yes, we don't get as much recognition for goods we have done, but if you do something good only for the sake of being remembered then one should question why you would do it in the first place right?
I'm not saying all good deeds come from good intention, but doing something good is not weighed on how memorable the action was.

You are clearly holding your map upside down here. For starters, both good AND bad people are remembered, and they are remembered differently. For example, wherever you live I bet you know of at least one war hero or big leader that helped POSITIVELY. As a person who lives in the US I could name quite a few presidents that are remembered positively as well as war generals. There is a MASSIVE difference between infamous and famous. Me personally I don’t care if anyone remembers me, but if I WERE to be remembered I’d like it to be for something I did to help, not hurt. And the other thing I’d like to address is the part where you said nobody cared if I was a saint. The people I don’t know may not care sure, but the people I DO know certainly do, I mean I bet a lot of the people here have dealt with venting or helped a person at least once. And I guarantee that the person being assisted appreciated it. Life is rough, I get it, and being forgotten is a scary though- But in the end you don’t want to be famous for the wrong reasons- Even Hitler honestly thought he was in the right- Though of course, this is simply my take. (Also Truman was a president of course I would)
