When your life is over. And if you're LUCKY enough to be able to reflect and look back on it. From a hospital bed or whatever. How much knowledge do you think your going have acquired about LIFE. How many answers do feel you've actually have?
And if so, were they all the important answers?
Is being able to reflect back something you wanna do?

It seems by your other answerer's that I'm the only one that knows where your coming from. I don't think that I'll know everything and have all the answers. Life is much to complicated for that. I'll just be happy knowing what I do know and leave it at that.

Of course you want to look back and answer the questions "was it worth it?", "Did I do right by...?", "Am I going having completed my journey?". And of course you are lucky if you get to do this.
As for how much I'll know... well... I plan to know a particularlly large amount on my specific subject matter and through that try to figure out life using that perspective. I will look back an admire all that I learned and regret all i didn't which will far out weigh the learned. The hope is that i have built upon the answers of those who taught me and give much more enlightenment on life to those who I have taught so that they can take what I have taught them and take it to the next level for those who will follow them.
Will all the answers be important? no. Many that seemed important at the time will no longer resonate and those that seemed trivial might then seem of the utmost necessity.
It is your legacy that I leave that will be on my mind should I have the chance to reflect at the end. But this type of reflection should not be save till the end. It should be an on going process with which to measure your place in this world. doing this will make you a better person and make reflection at the end much more satisfying.

When my life is over I will not have the ability to reflect on my life, to question what I've learned or if I have lived my life as well as I could have.The true test of how I've lived my life and what I've learned will be how others remember me.When you think about it, we have an opportunity to reflect on our life so far with each passing day.If we don't like what we see we can take each new day as an opportunity to change ourself.Why wait until the end to see what you've learned, try to learn a little each day.No one will have all the answers but it sure feels great to know that we will leave the world a little smarter than we started out.Sadly sometimes the things we thought were so important will suddenly mean nothing at all.

When life is over total memory is also lost. No answers & no reflections.

i never died before so i don't know. sometimes i believe when we die we just sleep until resurrection day, where we will be judged. other times i believe that when we die we go directly to either heaven or hell.
all i know is that when i die i will be anxious to meet God and my mind will be far away from life on earth. whether its right after i die or after resurrection day.

what could it possibly matter? I will be DEAD within the hour. Everything in my brain will cease to function. Whether i am retarded or Stephen Hawking, my brain will be just as dead.
