I did a take on that after you die question and the set up was:
Would you rather be thought of as a HERO your WHOLE Life and AFTER you die, the world finds out you were really undeserving and a coward and your name is spit upon through history.....
or
You live a life being hated and reviled and labeled a coward and ONLY after you die, the world realizes you did all the things you did for heroic reasons and your name rings through history as one of the greats?
