I personally would want people who I know and love while I am alive to forget me and move on with their lives after my death.
It’s like I would be happier in whatever is in the after life to see the people who I cared about happy with their lives, instead of getting sad whenever they remember me or worse yet, remembering me on yearly basis after I am gone.
I genuinely find it very illogical and selfish for people to want everyone to never forget them long after they are gone, especially due to the pain that come with memories.
That is why I am curious about the reason.
Maybe ask the person who said they wanted to be remembered?
Like anything else, the reasons for something are personal. It’s like asking someone why they like chocolate ice cream.
What, are you kidding? It’s chocolate ice cream! How does one NOT understand the appeal of chocolate ice cream???
Well, I guess if you’re allergic to delicious.
I genuinely don’t like chocolate ice cream. Vanilla and strawberry are superior.
Now mint chocolate chip, I can get behind.
