i'm listening to the song Only The Good Die Young by Iron Maiden... it's so true what they are singing... "Only the good die young and the evil seem to live forever". that is really true,.... so sad that it is .... it shouldn't be like that.
depends on what you consider to be good or evil. people are different and their tastes and oppinions are different too. so something you consider to be good, can be evil to me and vice versa. however, i think art lives forever and the artists cant really die in that way.
Will people remember Hitler longer than John Lennon? Dunno. Hitler did more world-changing stuff, but John Lennon was cooler.
It's not how long you live, it's what you do with the time you have. Would you rather do some amazing things and die at a young age...or do amazing things at a young age and live long enough to drift into obscurity? That being said...My nanny is 92 and she's the best! She's absolutely amazing and hasn't slowed down yet.
Yeah ya see there's real assholes that die young and never have a chance to do anythng really bad and then there's 90 year old angels sitting around in nursing homes. I've met a few. The problem is the human race. Being an evil power tripper gets people ahead but when they get old their karma usually catches up with em.
