I understand the downvoting, but recent events of the last year in the United States have reminded me that if you want people to mourn you after you're gone — not acting certain ways is a good way to get there.

I cannot recall the cartoon, but there was a revelation of "why a character was such a bad actor" (a jerk). And the reply was ironically one of care — "I don't want anyone to miss me after I'm gone".

As if to relieve the pain of loss they wanted others to feel relief.

I wish I could recall the cartoon and the author.
