What Makes A Fulfilled Life?

But anyway, let me rephrase the question: you are lying on your deathbed; looking over what you have done with your life. You say to yourself “these are the things I am happy I have done in my life…” How would you like to complete the sentence?

both serious and light-hearted answers welcome

So far:

I’m happy that I went to Ireland, England and Japan. I’m happy that I figured out what’s important in Life before it’s too late. I’m happy that I’ve spent some time & money “giving back” - it’s one of the more worthwhile things I’ve ever done. I’m happy that I’ve mended fences with my family.

Hope to be able to say someday before I die:

I’m happy that I got to fall in love and that I had a long, passionate relationship. I’m happy that I raised children (biological or adopted, either way, maybe both). I’m happy that I went back to college and got into a career that I actually wanted to be in.

PS - I’m happy that I found this poem - which pretty much sums all the important things up.

**With the exception of the “knows everything” DDG , how ironic is it that the person who said the “If you aren’t remembered, then you never existed” qoute, isn’t remembered!

Well, at least I didn’t know who he was… **

Niether did I. It’s not that useful anyway, because on a long enough timescale, everyone will be forgotten, even humanity itself.
