When do you want your "second death" to come?

The Pixar movie "Coco" gets into this concept; that your second death occurs when people stop remembering you.

    I don't "want" any particular time for "second death."
    I assume it's inevitable when everyone I've ever known or met has forgotten me -
    which for some would be now because the experience was not memorable or they have poor memories.
    For others, it would be when they develop dementia or die - which may be before or after I die.

    There's nothing I've done in this life which will leave any lasting legacy.

    It doesn't matter whether I existed or not.

    My second death occurred sometimes back when I stopped consciously sinning.

    What a joke.  This is not about what other people remember.  

    God forbid if I based anything about my life in those terms.

    First of all there is no death.  When one can get past the concept that this lifetime is anything more than a testing ground for each of us, then we will see what matters.

    What matters is what those on the other side see and know about our intentions.

    I could care less if everyone forgets me the minute after I pass.   They will all see me soon enough anyway in the places where it does matter.  This is not real this is the little death.  The mind that plugs into the Matrix is the mind that is unconscious to what really is.

    I am at least partially free of that binding concept.

    Not the definition I was thinking. 
    Under that definition, I personally don't care. Whatever would make my loved ones suffer least. 


    I do not plan to suffer the second death the Bible speaks of....the death of the soul.
