The most precious gifts given, my children, I sent back to their Perfect Presenter, The Lord. He is the one who never sleeps. Psalm 121. Why He is not mentioned in any of your suggestions is beyond my reason. Even the Areopagus had a memorial to The Unknown God. Creator, the Apostle Paul told the Greeks. I know him.
Sinatra's songs gives me all the feels. He has managed to encapsulate the sentiment of a life well lived. I think talking about death forces us to live life more meaningfully.
That's true Ilona. Your'e right that death is a universal experience that can influence how we view life's meaning. It can make us appreciate life more, focus on what matters, and leave a legacy.
"Live each day as if it were your last" has been the wise advice from Marcus Aurelius to Gandhi to Carl Jung and beyond. Indeed, what better words to guide us.
On our deathbed, we are likely to regret our "sins of omission" more than our "sins of commission." Or so I've read, but seems right to me introspectively. It suggests a framework for thinking about how we are living our lives and, indirectly, how we will view death.
Apologize if you are able. I did. Forgiveness and redemption walk hand and hand. Do you agree?

Thank you for your heart warming message, Allison. Indeed, we need God
Omission = things not done, e.g., not visiting someone before they die. Commission = bad things we've done (I'll let y'all fill that in 😀)
Thank you!

Marvelous!

Thank you John. I wish you explain a bit about what you meant by "sins of omission" more than our "sins of commission."
