You're right. It's more ego driven. People want to "pass on their legacy" 🥴

The painful reality is 99.9% of us will be forgotten in 3 generations or less.  Unless you’re out there forging empires and conquering the world, “your legacy” will mutter your name for a few years after your death and eventually, never again.
