WHO'S RIGHT?

And here I am asking myself some very existential questions!
And before I get into WHO'S RIGHT, I'll ask the question:
Why is it so important to leave a good name when you're gone?

There are two ways of living.
Two examples: the Jews of France and Israel, on the one hand, and those of Canada and the United States, on the other.

 

 The former see no harm in going into debt and taking vacations, as expensive as possible. And above all, take the kids along too. We'll pay later, even with interest, but it's good for us to live a good life.
The latter hesitate, because they don't want to go into debt. If I can't afford it, then I won't do it.
In conclusion, the former enjoy, appreciate, benefit, savor and enjoy. They savor and live in the moment.
The latter have none of that. They didn't go into debt, but they didn't enjoy it.
So who's right?
Which side should I take?

If I examine my own conscience, I'll discover that I've been on the side of the Canadians/Americans.
And today, in the wake of what I've just written, if I were honest with myself, I'd admit that I was wrong, that I shouldn't worry about whether I have debts, since I'll pay them off sooner or later. Why shouldn't I take advantage, because who knows if I'll still be around tomorrow?

Touching this subject would become another story. Yes, I could talk about it for a long time, given my early education. But over time, my early education has faded a little. Yes, I find myself thinking differently and saying things I would never have said before.
Is this what life is all about?

I've written a lot on this subject with different titles. I'll just mention a few of them on my website:
Life
What is life?                                           
My life no longer makes sense
If I had to leave today
To enjoy life
Everything in this world comes to an end

It seems I've made up my mind.
As for the aforementioned good name, how many of us think about it?  After all, once we are gone, who cares?  Yes, who cares?
However, I sincerely believe that many of us are thinking about it.
In my case, since I won't be leaving behind a building in my name, or a book I've written, or an inheritance of any kind to my children or others, my good deeds perhaps, a small souvenir for some. My name alone will remain, and if it was good, then it will be my good deed on earth.

I've just reread the fourth title mentioned above: If I had to leave today, what should I do immediately?
It's strange that I should start with an If, as if that possibility were improbable. But we all know that sooner or later, we have to leave.
But personally, I've never agreed with that premise.
We're here for a reason. So why leave?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm here, I'm staying. In fact, I feel very much at home here.
Some will say that if we leave, well, we're leaving for a better world.
But no, thanks. I prefer this one, because I'm sure of what's around me. Elsewhere, who knows?
And I doubt very much that elsewhere exists.

While I'm still here, I'd ask myself the simplest question: Am I really happy? Isn't that what we're all aiming for? I'm afraid that individual happiness is not enough to give meaning to our existence. Someone once told me that the path of life is the path of the heart. That's a nice attitude.

In the end, I don't know if I was able to convince the reader. Or rather whether he followed me all the way, making him think about his own behavior. To understand his own life. Yes, it's always there, but it's often a little complicated. But everyone has their own life, and it's up to them to direct it according to their situation.
