I'd rather be eventually forgotten because some day when you die you wouldn't even know what people are going to talk about you. You wouldn't even have to ability to care so why don't I just stop caring ahead. If I was forgotten I wouldn't care at all especially from people I don't even know. If I was hatefully remembered people are going to bad mouth me which is spreading fake news, even though I don't care about it I wouldn't be wanting anyone to remember bad things about me. It's not pleasant for others to always remember negative things about a person.

I understand how you wanted to be eventually forgotten as opposed to being hatefully remembered, stating the part where you wouldn't remember if you're going to be forgotten since you'll eventually die anyways. However, what if your death day is years away? You might be ostracized from your social life and really tilt towards being hatefully remembered.

Christine (Creative Writing F)

Yea!! When we leave this world we won't even know what is going on in life anymore, so it's best for the people to not have any hatred towards the person who has already passed.

Jabari (creative writing E)

My answer to this question is I will want to be forgotten eventually. I do not want to be remembered from what i did wrong, what controversial things i did. guilt would be a thing that i do not want to feel for the rest of my life. I would rather not be remembered with all my past mistakes.

Grace :) (AP Lit)

10/25/2021 11:10:39 pm

Now, you brought up another good topic to discuss. Reading you comment once again, the word "guilt" and "mistakes" in your perspective is being hatefully remembered. However, to other people, I think being silent and unpopular in any way is their guilt and mistake. This dilemma really shows the values of each person, whether you value popularity so much that you abandon morals or morals before popularity. Of course, there are many values that could stem from these two things...

Tanya (English 9C)

10/29/2021 09:11:09 am

I agree with you, I also don't want to feel guilt for the rest of my life, for the mistake I have done.

Vivi Creative Writing B

10/26/2021 08:10:59 am

What if you haven't really done anything bad to anyone and all you did was good to others? Don't you want people to acknowledge you by your own good? Most of the time people don't even care about others, they will only worry about yourself, do you now want them to remember you?

Praew (Creative Writing Block F)

10/27/2021 02:51:52 am

I agree with you that I would like to be forgotten eventually. I also agree that I do not want to be remembered for the bad and controversial things I do. This to me is not an accomplishment so I would not choose it.

Benny (Creative Writing F)

10/28/2021 07:32:27 am

I agree with the guilt part. You would not want to be remembered about something you are guilty about. Something you done wrong is not something you want people to remember, but it also really depends on the specific situation.

EngEng Creative Writing B

10/28/2021 10:07:09 am

I really agree with you. I also do not want to be hated for the rest of the life. I also do not want to feel guilty, It really dragged myself down too.

Angel (Creative Writing Block B) link

10/29/2021 03:30:18 am

I totally agree with you that guilt would be a thing that we do not want to feel for the rest of our life. Something negative or bad is not a thing that I would want others to know about it or remember. I would prefer to be eventually forgotten rather than being hatefully remembered as well.

Grace :) (AP Lit)

10/25/2021 08:14:11 pm

I would neither be eventually forgotten or hatefully remembered, if life actually depends on my decisions. I want to be respectfully remembered. I know it's not one of the options but sometimes in life, I would have to open up new pathways or opportunities if I'm not happy with what I have at the moment.

Ex (AP lit)

10/26/2021 02:37:16 am

I agree, when we are walking on the path of our life there will always be two ways mostly base on the option people give us. I think that why bother walking on the road that they wanted us to walk on. Create a new one that you think when you walk on the road you will not regret and be happy with the decision you made.

Jabari (creative E)

10/27/2021 06:14:03 am

i like your idea of choosing another path or another option that wasn't given. I believe that maybe people are just to focused on what they are given, instead of reaching out to other options. everyone would like to have instruction and things that would approve their doing, but not really want to take the risk of losing, or being left out.

Benny (Creative Writing F)

10/28/2021 07:37:37 am

I love this answer. It is really true that life depends on our decisions and actions. I also want to be respectfully remembered just as you. I really respect and like this answer!

Sinny (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 08:52:52 am

We are holding the similar opinion. If life is really controlled in our hands, why would we be eventually forgotten or hatefully remembered? Well we could have some confounding factors too, we can be eventually forgotten after a long period, and we can be hatefully remembered due to some misunderstandings. However, for me, the best outcome is still to be positively remembered.

Ex (Ap lit)

10/26/2021 02:28:20 am

For me both forgotten or hatefully remembered I don't really care about it because every action you do is based all from your options and opinion. When people want us to do something just think for yourself what best for you if they mad or hate you just let them be.

Vivi Creative Writing B

10/26/2021 08:13:10 am

I agree with how all your actions are based from options and opinion, but what if you have the choice to change the world or do something important to the society, don't you want to be remembered for what you did? But to be honest, if one doesn't care about the outcome then it doesn't matter either way

PunPun Creative Writing F

10/26/2021 10:47:21 am

I like how you think that we should let other people think what they want to. If we don't care about other people's opinions and put more attention to our own feelings, what other people think doesn't matter. It won't matter if they forgets you or hate you.

Praew (Creative Writing Block F)

10/27/2021 02:54:19 am

I agree with you that it does not matter whether or not we are forgotten or remembered. It is also true that all our actions are from our options and opinions. However, if we did bad actions, we will eventually be hatefully remembered.

janice (ap lit)

10/27/2021 08:22:09 am

I personally think that your mindset on doing what's best for you and not caring about what others may think is really powerful. In our society where hate is so common you can only run away from a handful of opinions. If you learn to ignore the opinions you hear you'll be able to enjoy life.

Sinny (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 08:57:11 am

I like your free and easy manner and your view on this matter. Life is our own, we can't control what other people think, nor should we let it control us. At this point, the matter to be hatefully remembered or eventually forgotten is no longer that important, this journey is worth it as long as we are worthy of our heart.

EngEng Creative Writing B

10/28/2021 10:12:15 am

That is exactly right in my opinion as we all have option and opinion. We would not be hatefully remembered if we chose to do good things. These all depend on what you do and what you think. We can choose our path and direction to go.

Asia Creative Writing B

10/26/2021 08:25:18 am

It depends on the person, it's their perspective and how they view things. I can't really control them, neither benefits them it makes them feel worse so it really doesn't impact me. I experienced both, feels the same to me. It depends on your present you can make them remember you in a better way or prove them the opposite.

PunPun Creative Writing

10/26/2021 10:45:01 am

I agree with how you think that by hating, it would make them feel worse. I think it is true because it wouldn't impact you if you don't care about it. It would only hurt them to have negative thoughts and to hatefully remember someone.

Allie (creative writing block F)

10/27/2021 09:05:21 am

I totally understand how you feel, and it is true. Whether we make the best of ourselves or not, it actually depends on who are the viewers. Some might say we are awesome and some might say we are horrible.

Kevin (AP Lit Block D)

10/27/2021 12:23:12 pm

I really like your conclusion. The short and simple "it doesn't matter" is all that needs to be said. If you eliminate the thoughts of "being remembered" and just focus on your present, that's how one can live a very rich (rich not in wealth but in enjoyment) life.

PunPun Creative Writing

10/26/2021 10:41:54 am

If I had to choose one, I would rather be hatefully remembered because at least what I did in my life was worthwhile and has some impact. What others think of me doesn't really matter as long as I could do what I love and be myself. I want to do things very differently that it would make people remember me, no matter in what way. If people would hate me from what I love to do, I would still be proud of myself that I choose to listen to myself.

Asia Creative Writing B

10/27/2021 03:34:49 am

I really like your mindset, in the end no one cares about what you do, they will be judging for the "fun". No one knows the real reason why you do certain things, they will just assume and hate. If people actually hate you for something you did, it means you did something really impactful, it means they "care".

janice (ap lit)

10/27/2021 08:29:05 am

After reading the question, all I thought about were harmful actions towards others, I completely forgot about doing what would make myself happy and proud. Your comment reminded me to care about how i'm hurting others, but more importantly I should always remind myself to be happy because if I can't make myself happy, those around me wouldn't receive positive energy from me.

Ex (Ap lit)

10/28/2021 01:54:21 am

I also have the same opinion as you, to add on I think that people will be inflected by others behavior but by the time you remember things you should not say (Judging others) it would be too late. You should think before saying anything or giving opinion about the person that it could hurt others feeling.

Praew (Creative Writing Block F)

10/27/2021 02:50:13 am

If I would have to choose between eventually forgotten over hatefully remembered, I would choose to be eventually forgotten. This is due to the fact that I believe karma is real and if I was hatefully remembered, that means I did something bad to the world and that karma will come back for me. However, I would still like to be remembered by my loved ones like my family and friends.

March(creative writing block B & ap lit)

10/27/2021 03:14:38 am

Being hatefully remembered is a selfless act, in fact, how do you prove that karma is real? If you say that it would come back to you, how would you know that you would be reincarnated as a human? We only live once so if you did something that doesn't impact the world due to you being scared of karma isn't that a bit selfish?

Mint Creative Writing F

10/28/2021 11:43:34 am

I like that you mentioned that karma is real and will eventually come back. I also like your point that you would still want to be remembered by loved ones, I really agree with you.

March(creative writing block B & ap lit)

10/27/2021 03:06:56 am

I would love to be hatefully remembered because at least I am able to give out something before dying. The reason is that being hatefully remembered will teach the later generations to not repeat what I did. This does not mean that I am proud of what I did, but I would be proud that the later generations did not repeat it.

SaoChi (Creative Writing Block B)

10/27/2021 03:18:59 am

Honestly I think what you are saying is mostly correct but I think that means there should also be possibilities of people trying to do the same thing you did and follow in your path. I would like to add that if you are not proud of the thing you did, then why would you do it? And if nothing bad had happened in the first place, none would have happened at all.

Stanley Creative Writing B

10/27/2021 10:35:56 pm

I respect your choice and your reasoning to it. It's really nice of you thinking of the later generations and teaching them a lesson. Good thinking there.

Lara (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 05:31:38 am

It's really interesting that you chose to be hatefully remembered, because most of the people in the comments are the opposite. I really like how you turn something negative into something positive. I think I can see how you look at the world in a bigger picture, sacrificing your own reputation for the greater good. I like that you're thinking of the generations after us and taking this fall for them, doing the bad thing so people after you wouldn't have to endure the hate and shame you will get for making it. You care, and you want to help out, telling later generations to not make the same mistakes that you did, and that's an extremely courageous act and very impressive.

Nina

10/28/2021 12:25:54 pm

I strongly agree with your comment, there will always be people who are hatefully remembered, we have to accept the fact that people will always hate us for something, but what if the "hateful" things that we did can teach the new generation what not to do, we wouldn't want all the "bad" examples to just be eventually forgotten, for the new generation to differentiate between good or bad you would need an example of both.

Tanya (English 9C)

10/29/2021 09:17:47 am

In my opinion I think it is a good message for the next generation, to prevent the bad things we done. But, we also need to be a good role model to our next generation.

SaoChi (Creative Writing Block B)

10/27/2021 03:14:37 am

Personally I would rather be eventually forgotten because I think that is how it normally works. I think being hatefully remembered isn't something someone wants and shouldn't be because that means you have done something so bad that they will want revenge forever and will forever remember you. Being eventually forgotten doesn't mean no one remembers you, but it means that they have moved on and it's not something bad.

March(creative writing block B & ap lit)

10/27/2021 03:30:08 am

When somebody wants revenge it means that they haven't learn and is only filled with anger. Anger and stupidity are related, wanting revenge on a dead person will give nothing but madness. Learn to let go and calm yourself, history doesn't repeat but it rhymes when you want revenge you setted yourself up to be hatefully remembered.

I agree with you mostly with the fact that being remembered implies that you definitely did something to make them not forget. But a loophole is that maybe you think that it is good for you but bad for them.

Stanley Creative Writing B

10/27/2021 10:40:53 pm

I agree with your choice here to choose eventually forgotten. But you pointing out wanting revenge on a dead person forever is really dumb because you can't do anything against a dead person. Another than that your takes are pretty good.

Lewis(Creative writing block B)

10/29/2021 06:27:23 am

I can see where you are going when you say "that is how it normally works". Most people like us are just common citizens that will most likely be forgotten. If you made a difference and impact in this world, people will never forget your presence.

Stanley Creative Writing B

10/27/2021 03:23:30 am

I'm a hundred percent sure that my answer will be eventually forgotten. I want to be remembered as a likeable guy and not to be remembered like someone like Mao Zedong, Hitler, or Stalin. Feeling guilty is one of the worst feeling in the world in my opinion so that's why I chose to be eventually forgotten even though my mistakes aren't that severe.

Jabari (creative E)

10/27/2021 06:16:47 am

I agree with your thought on how you would rather be forgotten as someone that is loveable, and caring rather than being remembered for what you have done wrong, your mistakes. I would also feel guilt from the things i have done that would be remembered for the rest of history. I would rather be forgotten as someone that did things right / ethical.

SaoChi (Creative Writing Block B)

10/27/2021 07:06:01 am

I completely agree with you on how if I was remembered, I would rather be remembered as someone likeable and not something I should regret or feel guilt. I also like how you stated that feeling guilty can be one of the worst feelings one can feel. I would also rather be forgotten than be someone who is will be hated forever.

People are way too extreme in the second option. Maybe you didn't commit mass genocide, maybe you bought the last ticket to someone's favorite artists band lol. that would probably cause them to hate you.

Kevin (AP Lit Block D)

10/27/2021 12:26:26 pm

Oh man, your response is brilliant. I had a very similar thought as I read through all these comments about how the second option is the way to go or how the first option must mean going out in a blaze of "glory", but truth be told, the two may not differ all that much after a generation or two.

Peter (English 9)

10/29/2021 04:21:21 am

I agree that I will choose the same thing as you that to forgotten then just hateful and keep remembered will feel just like pain and stressed but if you forgotten you will not feel that guilty.

Lewis(Creative writing block B)

10/29/2021 06:23:17 am

I liked how you mentioned leaders like Mao, Hitler, and Stalin. People remember them as cruel and oppressive leaders. Guilt is indeed one of the worst feelings and sometimes people have to just face the reality.

Pro

10/27/2021 07:11:11 am

Honestly, I do not care about what my memory is after I die. However, being hatefully remembered means that I definitely went through and did some bad stuff during my life. That would mean that if I were to go through with that option, I would lead a life full of suffering. Being forgotten means I was neither good nor bad, which is preferable from being bad. But if it just means that through some magic, after i die, people's memories of me got altered, ill probably go with being hated, cuz being remembered is cool.

Allie (creative writing block F)

10/27/2021 09:04:10 am

It is quite contradicting how you respond the question. But yes, your response is such a "pro" move, I would say. I would be definitely cool for people to remembers you.

Miumiu (creative writing block F)

10/28/2021 11:39:14 am

I would rather be eventually forgotten, at the age of 17 i've already done so much that I know that I will eventually regret. Therefore, I have set a motto for myself to never do anything that I will regret. I personally do not think that standing out or "being popular" for doing hurtful things is "cool". I know that our society has set a standard that you must be powerful to not get hurt, but being powerful with harmful actions will soon cause you to regret your decisions.

Phakhom (Creative Writing F)

10/28/2021 07:04:35 am

Our society have standard that everyone wanted to exceed or on the other hand wanting to break it. Being popular by doing hurtful stuff wasn't cool at all, however we never know the true purpose of their action. I think that both being forgotten and hated remembered wasn't a choice we wanted to choose.

I really like your motto and how you mentioned that gaining popularity from doing negative things isn’t “cool”. I believe social media have had a major influences in conveying the new generation to think that being hatefully remembered is cool when it’s actually to oppose. The social standard, also, is another influence.

Jia Ying (English 9 )

10/29/2021 10:47:53 am

I agree with you about "being popular" for doing hurtful things aren't "cool" at all and is very unethical. I also agree that in society we must be powerful to not get hurt, because there are many manipulative people will do anything for money. I also liked that you have set a motto do not do things that you will regret and I really relate to that.

I would rather be eventually forgotten, I believe that this is the part where you actually let your ego go. If you die without holding on to your ego, you still wants to be remembered by people, even hatefully remembered. The moment you die, it's time for you to return back to nature, to be one with the world. It didn't matter who you were but it mattered what you did to make an impact to the world. If you were truly awesome, they will remember you for ur awesome-ness.

Brendon (creative writing F)

Nina

10/28/2021 12:34:21 pm

I like how you worded your comment but to me being forgotten is like you never existed in the first place, and being hatefully remembered doesn't always mean you were a bad person, maybe people just hated you because you're you. I don't know about you but I would want people to remember how awesome I am even if I will be "Hatefully" remembered.

Kevin (AP Lit Block D)

10/27/2021 12:17:38 pm

Life is very much so a collection of your decisions. Nothing's "fated" but everything falls in line in accordance to your actions in the past, causing your future to play out as if it were fate. I want to live out my best life, with great health physically, mentally, and emotionally. Truth be told I don't care too much about how I'm remembered by those that are not close to me whether that's by time or by relation. As long as I can live out my best life and help those around me, my loved ones, my family, my friends, my community, in my lifetime, then I don't mind being forgotten after a generation or two.

Lara (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 05:24:02 am

Yes, I totally agree with you that it doesn't matter how you're remembered in the eyes of the people who are not close to you. What matters is your loved ones, and with that said, I agree that we should all live a great and healthy life, helping out whenever we can. "Hate" is definitely a strong word, and I believe if your mistake isn't that major, the people who really matter will forgive you for what you did in the long run. Through our lives we really do make lots of decisions, and no one's perfect, so mistakes are inavoidable. What matters is how you choose to deal with it, and to learn from it after you make a wrong decision.

Asia Creative Writing B

Yes!!! I love your opinion.
It is normal to have people who will have a negative perspective about you when the only thing they know about you is your name and heard gossips. But there will also be people ready to support you and are positive towards you. Just surround yourself with the people who cherishes you and ignore others opinions which try to put you down.

Lara (Creative Writing Block F)

I would choose to be eventually forgotten. As a person that has always believe the most important part in life is being happy and spreading happiness, I don't want to leave this world being hated for something that I did, I wouldn't forgive myself ever if that were to happen. I want my time spent with those who I actually love and care about to be happy and good; despite being forgotten later on, at least the memories we shared were sweet. I once watched a video with a patient with Alzheimer's, and she tells her daughter, "I don't know who you are, but I know I love you." I think that's a hundred percent true, some things just can't be erased no matter what.

Lara (Creative Writing Block F)

Edit: ...I don't want to leave this world being hated by everyone for something bad that I did... (when I was writing of this, I was thinking of being hated by everyone and the whole world by making a mistake. I reread what I wrote and it didn't clearly state that, so... here's an elaboration :))

Brendon (creative writing F)

10/28/2021 11:23:33 am

I really like this optimistic view of yours, which I really like. Indeed, even if we are hatefully remembered, history will run its course, and in the end, everything will be forgotten, so why bother being hated in that process if we will all be forgotten anyway? Just like you, I don't think I want to leave this world being hated, I would hate myself if I ever do that.

Miumiu (creative writing block F)

10/28/2021 11:35:50 am

This is also what I strive for. Spreading happiness is what makes the world a better place. The Alzheimer's story is also really touching because even though the patient do not remember, there is always a warmth spread by happiness, that indicates the love that the daughter and the patient shared.

Awhh, that quote you included is so wholesome. Emotions are certainly here to say, though I'd perceive that as something affected by one's nature. Through personality would people be able to define how they feel.

10/28/2021 04:18:57 am

In my opinion, I prefer being forgotten over hatefully remembered as I want to give others happiness not hatred. You are hated and they still remember the hatred after you died, that means you did something very very wrong or maybe hurt the person. I want to die peacefully and happily not hatefully.

Phakhom (Creative Writing F)

10/28/2021 07:00:12 am

Being forgotten also means that you'll never exist. I understand your purpose of living and die happily. However, being forgotten wouldn't be more hurtful? Sometime hatred doesn't comes from being rude or hurt someone, sometime you just being too good, which causing them to hate you.

Aom (Creative Writing Block F)

I really like your ideas that you want to give others happiness not hatred. Letting other people feel hatred won't make us happier so there are really no benefits for being hatefully remembered. If you were eventually forgotten by others, at least people won't complain about you or remember your negative side.

Both of the choice are hurtful. I would say I chose to be hatefully remembered, it might be a strange choice, but I think it's worth it. Being hatefully remembered means that I once am a people, I have a times that I did something really bad to someone, which I regrets. However, this is mean that I still in some part of their heart, I'm still a person that they remembered of.

I really like your comment, a lot of people (including me) chose to be forgotten, however, after reading your comment I remembered there are many people that have passed who are hatefully remembered, and because of that, we are able to know that they once were in this world too!

Aom ( Creative Writing Block F)

Your opinion is very interesting. If we stick to the real world, no one is actually forgotten, but everyone is remembered in either good or bad side.

Yes, I would also say that both options are cruel. But even though you chose the opposite of my decision, I really like your opinion on how you said that you know you once did something bad to someone but you regret it. Also, although you are hated, you are once a person the can make other people remember.

Mulan (Creative writing block F)

I agree that both option is hurtful. Being remember meaning that you exist in someone life it is better than not being remember.

I would rather have people forget about me. I don't want people to remember me as a bad person, because that is not who I am. I only need the people who I impact to remember me, when it comes to people in the future I could care less.

Sinny (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 08:37:46 am

If life really is a product of my decisions, I would neither choose to be hatefully remembered or eventually forgotten. These two are not my options. I want to be remembered in a positive way, I want to dedicate myself to the things that are worth dedicated on, and I want my existence to be valuable. However, if those are the only two endings that I can pick on, I will still choose to be hatefully remembered. If I did something good without breaking one's conscience and benefit to a large population, it's still worth it for me to be hatefully remembered. I'm dead anyway, what else can I lose.

Sinny (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 08:45:48 am

To add on something...it's impossible to satisfy everyone on this world, and you can't really force it if someone think of you negatively or even hate you. As long as we be upright without violating our own conscience, humanity and morality, the so-called being hatefully remembered is only the subjective thoughts of others, and it has nothing to do with us, let alone with us after death.

hazeljoy (creative writing B)

10/28/2021 08:47:01 am

omg XD I like the way you think, but have you ever think about the people around you and the people that truly cares for you? If you leave bad memories behind what will they feel? Don't you think it's just throwing your responsibility to others to solve your problem? because the people that loves you will do everything they can to make you look good. That was just some questions popping in my head after reading your comment on this, but I like how you could be so carefree :)

Sinny (Creative Writing Block F)

10/28/2021 09:11:06 am

Awwww somehow I'm glad to hear that (hmmmm) Are you included thennn :DDD
Well you led out a good point, the one who cares about me could be sad if this happen. However I definitely will not choose to be hatefully remembered by a large population (and I highly doubt that I have the ability make it happen). If I contribute something that could make more people live a better life, I have no regret even if I might be hatefully remembered by some individuals who just somehow hate my actions. However, the higher we stand, the greater the risk, and I don't have the ambition to stand that high either. I have my love ones to care for, and of course I do not want them to suffer because of me.

Hazeljoy (creative writing B)

10/28/2021 08:41:31 am

I would rather be eventually forgotten. I don't want to leave an unpleasant memory behind for people to look back at and talk about it, I would rather be forgotten so people won't talk about me behind my back or spread some rumors that are false. I don't care if people forget about me but if we die we couldn't just come back to life and fix our mistakes to change the flow of the people around you, so I would rather be forgotten easily and just get over it peacefully.

Christine (Creative Writing, Block F)

10/28/2021 09:52:36 am

As time goes on, people are going to be forgotten anyways. It doesn't make sense to have to be remembered by people you either despite or have made mistakes to. When you leave this world, you leave everything behind, to me, I don't believe there is any meaning in having to remember people who have left. We can't stop time nor can we do anything to bring them back, so all we can do is wait for time to heal. I do believe however, even if the person is forgotten, the feeling would still be there!

Aom (Creative Writing F)

10/28/2021 10:19:01 am

I would rather be forgotten. To be honest, I do not expect anyone to remember anything about me. This also means that I don't have to worried about all the things that I have done nor other people could remember it, so being forgotten is a much better choice.

Mint Creative Writing F

10/28/2021 11:37:15 am

I like your point that you mentioned about you not expecting anyone to remember about you. Thinking back to myself, I also agree that I also don't expect anyone to remember about me and I would rather be forgotten.

Brendon (creative writing F)

10/28/2021 11:20:42 am

Would you rather be the silent hero that saved 75 men during the Battle of Okinawa? Or as the "Angel of Death", known for his cruel experiments in Auschwitz? While the latter might sound controversial, Josef Mengele experiments, as cruel as they were, was fruitful in the study of anatomy. Till this day, surgeons still use the Pernkopf atlas, a Nazi anatomy book which depicts concentration camp victims in detailed diagram. What I'm trying to get at is that you can derive good from evil, so being hatefully remembered might not be a bad thing if you are able to remind people what not to do.

leah (block d, ap lit)

10/29/2021 11:56:26 am

Controversy is sure a double-edged sword; it can both be hurtful and beneficial. Yeah, perspective's important when defining "hate" and the reason behind that. Perspective, in fact, is something that doesn't take much to transition between when in the right mindset.

Miumiu (creative writing block F)

10/28/2021 11:31:45 am

To me, being peacefully forgotten is better than being hatefully remembered. I don't want to be remembered by the ill deeds I have done in my lifetime. Instead of being remembered by something horrendous I have done, I would rather let other people casually forget about me. I wouldn't care if people forgot about me, since I know I do my best everyday, and if I'm content with myself, then that is the only peace I need.

Aww Miu Miu. ;-;
When you said "I wouldn't care if people forgot about me, since I know I do my best everyday, and if I'm content with myself, then that is the only peace I need" it really touched me for some reason. I agree that being happy with yourself is really important.

Mint Creative Writing F

10/28/2021 11:33:55 am

If I were to choose, I would rather choose to be forgotten. To be forgotten is better than people remembering me, but in a bad way. As time goes on, people tend to forget anyways so I think it would be the best choice.

Beryl Creative Writing F

10/28/2021 12:10:00 pm

Exactly what I think too. Unless we do an incredible feat in our life that will somehow make us end up in history books, we'll eventually be forgotten anyway. Just let nature/the universe take its course. Why would we care anyway? We'd be dead by then.

First (creative writing F)

10/28/2021 10:55:50 pm

I like what you mentioned that people often forget about others anyway and maybe some also forget what good things we used to help them. For me, I wouldn't want anyone to remember me in a negative way too. Therefore, I would rather choose to be forgotten.

Beryl Creative Writing F

10/28/2021 12:08:48 pm

I'd much rather be forgotten than hatefully remembered. This was not a hard choice for me at all because I never really expected or wanted to be remembered for long after my death anyway. As long as my closest friends and family remembers me, that's fine with me. Eventually, they'll pass away too and then there would be no one left to remember me, which is completely fine. Being hatefully remembered just seems so unnecessary. I mean, I would be dead so it wouldn't really matter to me? But why would I want to be hatefully remembered?

Nadia (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 06:32:42 am

I agree with you that it wouldn't really matter to us whether or not we are hatefully remembered after we die because once we die, that's it for this lifetime. But as for family members and friends, they will definitely remember us. To me, it's important that they remember us not by the fact that we're not there anymore, but by the good times we spent together.

Nina (Creative Writing B & AP Lit)

10/28/2021 12:15:31 pm

I would rather be hatefully remembered than being forgotten, I don't care if people hates me, but I absolutely hate the idea of being forgotten to me that's one of the most painful thing a person could experience. If my life is the product of my decisions the only people who would hatefully remember me are the people who want to be me but couldn't, so why not make them remember me forever so they can suffer more, sounds like a good deal to me. It would mean that I will have a bunch of fanclubs even in the after life or where ever I'm going. <3

Morn Creative Writing Block F

10/29/2021 09:35:56 am

I love how you positively consider and benefit your perspective from the hateful memories, which is more than reasonable. To add on, I agree with the belief that being forgotten is the most painful situation, and it will damage more when you realize there are only yourself who can remember those memories.

NoyNoy Creative Writing Block F

10/28/2021 08:38:21 pm

From my standpoint, I believe both of the options are negative; however, if I would have to choose one, I would choose to be forgotten. Self-love and self-care can improve but being hatefully remembered is when you’re torturing yourself. I believe you can always find happiness even if you’re alone.

Auto (Creative writing F)

10/29/2021 01:01:01 am

I agree, imagine if the after life is real and new souls that just arrived and they hated you. Finding happiness when you are alone is nearly impossible because human are made to function as a society not as an individual, but I think we could try.

Jia Ying (English 9 )

10/29/2021 10:18:30 am

I agree, and I liked that you mentioned about mental health. What you said made me think about a possibility of doing something that will definitely make someone be hatefully remembered when you were at the verge of death. Like setting up a huge bomb and pressing a button to make it explode just 1 second before you die? The families of the people that were at that area will probably hatefully remember you for causing harm and even if there are no one harmed the air will definitely pollute the air.

Mim (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 11:07:30 am

I like the sentence "I believe you can always find happiness even if you're alone" and I strongly agree with you. A Greek philosopher once said that “man is by nature a social animal" but I think it depends on the person. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have to stay home and for me, it makes me have more time with myself and that's why I agree with you that we can be happy by ourselves. We should tile our own happiness with anyone because when that person is gone, our own happiness will be gone too so the best way is to be happy by ourselves.

Mulan (Creative writing block F)

10/29/2021 11:25:25 am

I agree that self love and self can is important but in the real can you live your life depending only on yourself and be alone. I would say that it is hard to choose and both options is equally negative.

First (creative writing F)

10/28/2021 11:11:29 pm

Personally, I would rather be forgotten rather than hatefully remembered. Since I don't want anyone to be able to remember me negatively or awfully. Besides, one day after I died, everyone would forget about me anyway. No one would be able to be remembered after a generation of generations.

Auto (Creative writing F)

10/29/2021 12:48:51 am

I don’t agree with your last statement because there are some people that are hatefully remembered after a generation of generations e.g. Adolf Hitler. But I agree that one day after a person have died that person would finally be forgotten.

Prim (English 9C/G)

10/29/2021 09:05:33 am

Yeah, I agree that be forgotten is better tham hatefully remembered. But I think if you are in the family with the person that social hate and that people is very famous in nagative way, many people would be able to hate you or talking about you in the bad way. Because just you are in the family with he/she, so I think if people hate me it would have an effect to my family or my friends.

Auto (Creative writing F)

10/29/2021 12:53:52 am

I would rather be forgotten than be hatefully remembered. I don’t want people to remember my name or my face. I just want them to remember what I have done for the society good and bad. If I did a mistake people can learn from it, and don’t fall into the same trap as me.

Nadia (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 06:24:35 am

I really like how you distinguished between remembering someone as a person and remembering someone based on what they did for the society. There are so many people who do good and eventually become anonymous in the books of history. Sometimes, several people also join together to fight for a good cause, and rather than being remembered individually, they could also be remembered as a team.

Sophia(English 9)

10/29/2021 01:14:07 am

I would rather pick forgotten than be hatefully remembered. If people hatefully remembered me that means I did something bad to the society, and I didn't want to be that person. I choose forgotten because at least people doesn't hate me and it can also prove that I did not do something bad to people around me.

Peter ( English 9)

10/29/2021 03:13:47 am

I agreed that forgotten is better than hatefully remembered because maybe that people does not hate you and it make you stressed.

Mike (english 9)

Sometimes being hate, people are gonna make a super good meme for you lol. I liked that you said don't want to be that kind of person. I think literally everyone doesn't want to be hated at all

Peter( English 9)

10/29/2021 02:47:04 am

I preferred to choose forgotten than just hatefully remembered. I choose forgotten because if you don't want to hate that thing because maybe that thing can change not like it would not change forever and if you keep remembered it would make you more stressed. If you forgotten you will not have that kind of stressed that keep thinking of it.

Jack Eng9 C&G

10/29/2021 07:50:23 am

I think your answer is pretty interesting, I can see that you're trying to say you preferred to be forgotten because when people hate us just because of our bad decisions, it may make us stressed and we tend to also think negatively about ourselves. And so, if people forget us, then we don't have to stress and think negatively about ourselves, so I agree with your response.

Nadia (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 06:14:20 am

I think I would prefer to be eventually forgotten. What good does it bring to anyone to be hatefully remembered? I don't want my life defined by my mistakes, and I certainly hope by the time I die I have done more good than bad. Besides, I don't want to die regretting a relationship that turned bad or a mistake not fixed, so I would try my best to resolve issues.

Faith (AP Lit)

10/29/2021 08:29:57 am

I agree! I definitely don’t want to die with any regrets nor be defined by my wrongdoings. To avoid this, I suggest living life a little more cautious of our decisions and consider the consequences to our actions.

Morn Creative Writing Block F

10/29/2021 09:28:54 am

From my perspective, regretfully leaving the world isn't a definition of living a life, and I agree with you on resolving them before the end of life. Additionally, when you commented that you want to have done more good than bad before death. I think people (including me) always mind their beings even though it might end out of nowhere.

Lewis(Creative writing block B)

10/29/2021 06:17:46 am

I would rather be eventually forgotten. I don’t want to be remembered for guilty misconduct or other unpleasant things that I did. As an individual, we strive to be the best version of ourselves. I want to do things that are valuable and unique. If you do brilliant things that have an impact on others, it will speak for itself, and people will always remember it.

Faith (AP Lit)

10/29/2021 08:27:25 am

I agree that we strive to be the best versions of ourselves. Humans are dynamic creatures in a way, since we’re both intelligent yet emotionally driven. Therefore, we should be aware of the choices we make and make sure that if we are to change, it should be for the better.

Jack Eng9 C&G

10/29/2021 07:44:09 am

In my personal opinion, I'd rather be forgotten than be hatefully remembered. I chose to be forgotten because I don't want people to hate me, or think negatively about my personality, for my decisions or mistakes made in the past. I don't want people to hate me for the choices that I've made in my life, I'd rather be equal than being different from everyone else.

Prim (English 9C/G)

10/29/2021 08:57:30 am

Interesting, I agree to the part that you've said you don't want people to hate you and think negatively about you. In my opinion, I don't like people talking behind my back so I would rather be forgotten too. So people will not remember the bad decision that I've made in my life. If many people hate me, it would not be easy to live in this life.

Faith (AP Lit)

10/29/2021 08:24:04 am

Without a doubt, I would rather be eventually forgotten. My reasoning may sound a little odd, but as a religious person, I feel that being remembered hatefully will somehow affect me in the afterlife. As a Christian, I believe that once we die, we either go to heaven or are condemned to hell. I feel that if people were to remember me by my sins, I most likely will be sent to hell. :)

Roman (Creative writing block B)

10/29/2021 10:37:51 am

I totally agreed on how you mentioned that you rather be eventually forgotten than remembered hated. Because the reason is that I also choose the same option is you and I understand how you took religions to make a cause an effect relationship with this topic. And I also agreed on how you believe that once we die we go to heaven or hell it is about how people beliefs.

Prim (English 9C/G)

10/29/2021 08:24:42 am

For me, I would rather eventually be forgotten than hatefully remembered. I think if other people hate me, I would get bully easily and my life would not have a good memory. I like to be forgotten more because I think I can stay by myself and it's better than other people hate me. For example if they hate me, when I go somewhere they would gossip about me and I hate people to gossip about me. So yeah, be forgotten is better.

Jack Eng9 C&G

10/29/2021 09:06:03 am

I agree, I also don't like people gossiping behind my back because it would make me look very bad from others. I just wanted to be equal to everyone else, not being different and being seen as dumb or stupid about the decisions I've made with my life.

Mike (English 9)

10/29/2021 08:53:57 am

I'd rather to be eventually forgotten. Since I rarely interact with other people, so no one will remembers me anyway. Being forgotten is than being hated like Martin Shkreli.

Tanya (English 9C)

10/29/2021 09:07:38 am

I rather be remember, in my opinion no one wants to be hate or forgotten. I will want to be remember in a good way, I wish everyone can respect me. I do not want to be a hater, that everyone hates me. I also do not want to be forgotten forever by my family as well as my close friend, it will be a horrible situation.

Morn Creative Writing Block F

10/29/2021 09:17:02 am

Eventually, everything will be forgotten, so I believe that being forgotten is better than being recalled negatively. Since no one can be viewed as totally virtuous nor awful, and we can't prevent the spiteful memories from others, some people might choose to be hatefully memorized. Often those memories would hurt the one who remembered that the other who was recalled. Hence, in my opinion, there will be some people who devote their images or reputation only to offend others' memory and emotion. Moreover, why would they care what the others think about them?

Jia Ying (English 9 )

10/29/2021 09:45:09 am

Yes, I do agree that life is a product of our decisions. If I had to choose to be eventually forgotten or hatefully remembered I would choose to be eventually forgotten.The reason is because to be honest, I don't really think I will do anything that will let many people remember me whether it's good or bad. However I would rather be eventually forgotten in a positive way rather than being so hatefully remembered that people all around the world wants me to never exist when I did exist. I don't want to cause any harm to anyone and would much rather live and die peacefully, but that doesn't mean I am going to live a boring life though. :P

Roman (Creative writing block B)

10/29/2021 10:06:00 am

Because of that our life is the product of decision it doesn't really matters for both option eventually forgotten or hatefully remembered. As a human living in a world we can't control how other people thinks about us so, if one day we were forgotten or hatefully remembered won't really affects my life that much. But if I would really gotten to choose one of the options is to be eventually forgotten because I don't really care if people would be able to remember or forgotten me. All my mindset in living as days passed is to do my best on everyday.

Mim (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 11:00:48 am

I would rather be eventually hatefully remembered however I also want to say that both choices hurt us in different ways. I choose to be hatefully remembered because at least people remember me. They know what I am doing and give attention to what I am doing even in hateful ways. If I love myself enough then I don't have to care about others anymore so I will just do what I do and mind my own business. I believe that those people who hate me, deep in their mind they know that they didn't better than anyone.

Angel (Creative Writing Block B) link

10/29/2021 11:01:03 am

I would choose to be eventually forgotten rather than being hatefully remembered. To me, being hatefully remembered also means that you've done something bad to a person or a group which makes them dislike you. On the other hand, being eventually forgotten might mean that your life is normal and you just live your life peacefully without doing anything harmful that could affect other people. We only have one life, and I would want to live my life peacefully and got eventually forgotten by others.

Mulan (Creative writing block F)

10/29/2021 11:07:06 am

I would rather be hatefully remembered because at least what I did has been seen by someone else. I want to let people see with I did and it is not going to waste. I agree with the quote because our life depend on our decision, my decision is a cause and effect to my life.

Mim (Creative Writing Block F)

10/29/2021 11:25:26 am

Yes, everything has its cause and effect. Nothing in the world just randomly happens and our life is a product of our decision not other's people decision so now we know that should love ourselves. I didn't say that we should not care about the other because we should but we also have to care ourself and our own feeling too. I also agree with you that at least people will remember what we did even in a negative way but at less, it is worth something.

leah (ap lit, block d)

Hate's a subjective emotion, I could hate my sister for eating my chocolates, whilst other people could hate others for acts such as murder. Hate and haters exist everywhere, I wouldn't be mad if I was hatefully remembered. We can't control how others feel about us, but my solution to this would be to live the moment.
