Love or Glory?

What is more important?

Love or Glory and of course Glory is a relative term because Glory may mean whatever you find glorification in.

I guess love would be the other, or significant spouse, I guess, but Glory is being remembered or being infamous.

If you had to choose?

To our wives and lovers, may the two never meet.

Unless he or she chooses to say, I'd say it's too early for anyone else to say.

Not your usual witch hunt.

I don't think one can bleat "false dichotomy" in reply to a thought exercise where the hypothetical dichotomy is the whole point.

You can when the very "this or that" is a false choice.

My name is Mary.

You don't want none of this.

Probably not.

@fart said
I believe Glory is more important because you are remembered. Love is easy and short lived.
Being remembered is forever. Glory is relative, meaning good or bad but regardless it's remembered.

Seriously, why not both?

Not really. It would like saying, in reply to the question: where would you rather live, in Greece or Denmark? ...then carping "False dilemma! False dilemma! There are other countries, dammit!"

A thought exercise where the hypothetical dichotomy ~ the contrived either/or choice ~ is the ENTIRE point, it seems a bit odd to object to the fact that the thought exercise presents a particular choice between two things.

I know you are suspicious about who @fart is, but you sell yourself short with your rather silly objection.

"Witch hunt"?

I lobbied to get rid of the returning Romans1009 several times.

I lobbied to get rid of the returning Executioner Brand several times.

Were they "witch hunts"?

Sacrifices may have to be made to achieve the glory.
For example, men willingly went and enlisted to fight in the civil war for adventure and hopefully glory.
They could have easily stayed home with their loved one but the desire for glory compelled them to go stand in a feild somewhere and face modern weaponry that didn't recommend standing in a line just to be shot or worse.

Another example is the theft of the Mona Lisa by the Italian who wanted the painting returned to Italy from France for patriotic reasons. He must have known he would end up in prison and thus no time for love.

I think Achilles wanted to be remembered more than anything also but I'm basing that on a movie I seen which prompted my question. (Troy)

Ok, so this is why you're being supported, instead of held to account.

Got it.
