Indeed,for the vast majority of humanity,after the death of the last person who knew us, it's as if we never existed.
What I would have liked is my "go fuck yourself money" at about 40.(I got it at 51) I think celebrity/fame is grossly overrated, I'd far prefer "power without glory". That is coincidentally the title of a spiffing book by Australian writer Frank Hardy.
