How do you plan on immortalizing yourself?
Obviously the current generation hasn't had such a breakthrough as attaining immortality of the sort as humanity's death is inevitable. The immortality I'm alluding to is the one Mozart obtained; the same immortality say, Adolf Hitler has. They're not known by everyone, but in the books of history their names remain unforgotten.
Nevertheless, one of few-many ways one can achieve immortality among the human race is in the following manner:
You could:
Make music that will be listened to for centuries and more. e.g The Beatles, Michael Jackson.
or
Write poems and books like William Shakespeare or be the next J.R.R Tolkien.
All these examples had things to sacrifice. They sacrificed a lot of intimacy with the people they loved, and you could agree that they didn't have the best life that earth could offer. Michael Jackson had obtained the pinnacle of fame and was acknowledged as the best artist to have ever walked the earth, but what were the costs? He was emotionally brutalized by the media, accused of many crimes and was even allegedly abandoned by his family in the darkest of times.
Albert Einstein also had to go through many obstacles to be who he was. He had to push himself towards proving theories that he proposed and were rejected by the public or those who were in the same field. He's also said to haven't had a great love life in all his achievements. He achieved things an ordinary man can only dream of, but there were costs he incurred.
Same must have reflected in William Shakespeare's life. He probably didn't have many close friends and had to spend time away in order to gain the acumen in writing he'd procured.
Now, having peered into the negatives, and since the benefits are conspicuous: world acknowledgement, treatment perks, "memorial" immortality and so forth, what would you choose,
and
Is immortality in that form even something worth pursuing?
