Is becoming legend even a good goal? (Destiny)

In putting together my absolutely massively academic post about story, narrative forms, and Destiny, something occurred to me.

What is a Legend? A tale told by someone who didn't live it. And so, it takes on a larger than life quality, as imagination and oration fill in gaps and expand the scope. But to the person who lived it? It's no Legend… it's just… what happened.

Think about it for a second.

It's not about that level of specifics, it's about becoming renowned, in-universe or in real life.
