Where did you get your degree in "self esteem"?

The little---Of course to be "remembered" well would be a great legasy, but why should we care if we become unaware, and those who knew us will also have their memory eraced?

PILGRIM---Since you are a Dr. of "self esteem", can you tell me if everyone agrees what that means?
If a murdering lunatic regards himself as a very fine murderer, is that a "healthy self esteem"?

Answer: You have healthy self esteem while you are alive if your life reflects your values.
Edit: In simple terms - Feeling Good about who you are.
In psychology, self-esteem or self-worth includes a person's subjective appraisal of himself or herself as intrinsically positive or negative to some degree.
Self-esteem involves both self-relevant beliefs (e.g., "I am competent/incompetent", "I am liked/disliked") and associated self-relevant emotions (e.g., triumph/despair, pride/shame). It also finds expression in behavior (e.g., assertiveness/timorousness, confidence/caution). In addition, self-esteem can be construed as an enduring personality characteristic (trait self-esteem) or as a temporary psychological condition (state self-esteem). Finally, self-esteem can be specific to a particular dimension (e.g., "I believe I am a good writer, and feel proud of that in particular") or global in extent (e.g., "I believe I am a good person, and feel proud of myself in general").
As for this:
If a murdering lunatic regards himself as a very fine murderer, is that a "healthy self esteem"? He is having a great time and it makes him happy so yes.
I agree with you that if we are not cognizant after death there is less reason to be concerned with legacy but not no reason at all.

I think we will be cognizant, but that is beside the point. Love for others is reason to leave a legacy.

You shouldn't.
If you worry about your legacy, you'll always be looking for a great thing to do, and you'll never get around to doing it.
Do things as if they were great and as if it would be the last thing you do. History will attend to itself.

Well, if this is the only life we have, then our only hope of true immortality is to be remembered well.
