“There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.”
-David M. Eagleman, Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives

“I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave, the second time is when the last time that somebody mentions your name. So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave? Did I look out for other people, or did I do it all for fame?”
-Macklemore, Glorious
"That’s what death is, isn’t it? Forgetting. Being forgotten. If we forget where we have been and what we have done, we’re not men anymore. Just animals."
-Samwell Tarly, Game of Thrones (S8,E2)
Do we fear death simply because the thought of being insignificant is deeply rooted inside each of us?
