Honor Upons One's Death

In the end,
whether its through the completion
of some small or great endeavor;
or upon passing from this world into the next -
the honor and respect given to us in remembrance,
is almost always commensurate
to the honor and respect
we had given to each endeavor
and/or to our life out of which we lived.

counterclaim: idolization of the dead is rampant in u.s. political culture; dead presidents are routinely given much more honor than they deserve; case in point: ronald reagan
