If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
It is unlikely I would have anything named after me but in the event that I could, maybe a charity or a school would be preferable over a city tower or a ship. Pipe dreams. These are merely external artifices, albeit symbols for humanitarian causes. But why the grand gestures?
It’s the human connection that counts. At least it does for me.
Simple is often the way and you can help anyone in need. And this isn’t hard to understand because quite often children show it and demonstrate it.
Does getting older make you more circumspect? Does it make you wiser? I guess I’d like to be remembered for ‘me’ whatever that entails while any legacy is increasingly unlikely.
‘He came, he went and one nanosecond later is forgotten’
Or Percy Shelley..
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
