Ordinary or Legacy???

When the quetion of how i would want to live my life comes up i find it hard to choose. Would I rather live a long average life where only few know of my existence or live large die early but remain famous to all for 1,000 years?
I could argue that i would like to live for a long time because then i could experience all aspects of life. It wouldn't matter if only few knew me because i would be able to touch atleast the heart of one person.
As much as i could go on about that decision i would choose to die early but remain famous. Before any quick, thoughtless judgements are made i did not choose this lifestyle for the fame. I could touch the heart of a few people or make a difference in the world and be remembered for the good i have done or things i have contributed. Some can argue that fame wont matter if your dead but i disagree . If used correctly fame can be more like recognition. I may not live long but my memory will in the hearts of the world. If i could die and have made a significant difference I would be satisfied. Some of the greats lived a lifestyle this way for example: Tupac, Left Eye, Martin Luther King jr. , Marilyn Monroe, and even Jesus. To be along side of them; i would be honored

Yours has a nice twist to it. I never looked at it like that. So are you choosing average jor, fame, or are you just not sure?
