Life vs. Legend
I choose life. The only fame that I would find attractive is withdrawn, refined fame that existed out of the public spotlight. If I were to pick the kind of fame that would last 2000 years, it would obviously not be that kind of quiet fame. People who achieve such extreme levels of fame are not normally happy. I would much rather live out a quiet life in obscurity, respected by those who know me and loved by those whom I love. I also believe in some form of reincarnation and therefore, being insanely famous would not benifit me in this life or in the next. However, living a wholesome, quiet, yet good life without fame would be much more beneficial to my soul. The only scenario that I would choose legend over life would be one in which I am famous because I save humanity from a huge disaster and die doing so. This sort of fame would not be meaningless because it would have a greater purpose. Unless this scenario were to occur however, I would much rather have a long regular life.
