Oblivion is worse.
Some would say that fame and oblivion are the same. You're either attached to being famous or attached to be unknown or unneeded. From a practical stand point its better to be famous, but from an ultimate point of view its not relevant. Sorry to get all heavy but I believe this, doesn't mean its true, but I contemplate this idea and so far its held up.
