[Avodah] being remembered

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck via Avodah]

R' JR:

R'YBS commented (not so positively) on man's great desire to be remembered
(think Ozymandias). Question - from where does this desire spring?  The
Gesher Hachayim, IIUC, says it is from the soul's knowledge that it is
eternal.  Any other interpretations (halachic or general society)?

Maslow's highest level in his Hierarchy of Needs (in its later permutations)
is self-transcendence. I think that's what you're talking about. Here's some
further on that:
