Whose Admiration Do You Want

I find in my notes the following quote

The pursuit of kleos is to internalize the judgment of a lofty tribe – to observe yourself from the perspective of historians & poets & try to create something that they will notice, & find inspiring & beautiful

if you live for kleos it matters very much *who* you want to remember your name

(From whom I have neglected to mention, perhaps twitter user EDJCB)

Kleos means glory.

Generally the people you want to admire you are the people you yourself admire. And you want them to admire you for who you are, not for a façade.

One great difficulty with the egalitarian impulse, as real as it is, is the opposite impulse where we wish to look up to, emulate, and eventually achieve the admiration of those who are better than us. The only stable egalitarianism would exist among people who are the greatest possible beings.

The Great and Spacious Building aka fashion aka status is the apish substitute for glory where you take admiration from people you look down on and peer acceptance from high status people you don’t much like, and its all a fake, on the inside you are terrified you might be found out.

Is LDS Christianity the belief that the God of glory, looking around for those from whom He would wish to elicit admiration, and finding none, decided to make them?
