The message is nice, but “being nice” is straight up not a good way to achieve immortality. The people you’ve affected will remember you but one generation out and you’re forgotten. And that assumes people ruminate on the kind acts they’ve experienced a lot.

Man, f*** that guy. Good copper my ass.

You should be kind. The world would be a lot better a place. Unfortunately Hitler died long before I was born and will still be remembered long after I’m forgotten about completely. People who have the ability to choose between good and evil know this.
