Fame or Life

Fame is such a covetted thing in our society. The thought that I may still be alive in the minds of people centuries from now is a very tempting offer, but will I even know about it?

How much good could I do in such a short life? I would much rather live a long one, so that I can truely apprieciate my life and life's experiences. What good is a life without love, friendship, and affection? I don't think I could truely live without those, but if I knew my end was coming soon, would I live those to the fullest, or rough it on my own knowing my emotions will be cut short. I think I would much rather live a long life without fame.
