There is a saying that on your death bed, your happiness will not be based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect. Do you believe why?
Explain as much as you can

when we die, we can not take any material stuff with us. and yes it is true people who you have loved, your family your friends. People who you have helped while you where alive in any shape or form.
reasons are really simple, the ones who are grieving, and they are in pain they do not care what the dying person is taking with him/her all they care is that they will not be able to see him/her physically they can not hold, or talk or what ever.

but the only thing that they all will remember what kind of a human he/she was.

Well, its taking me a while to answer this question. Since the question is zeroed down to death, I'll zero down my happiness based on the one soul mate that I spent my life with. I'd ask my SM (soul mate) the first question: was there anything that i've done that hurts still, and that i want to hear it and then I'd say sorry, with all my heart. u know y??? coz up there I want no contentious talk. And then I'll move to the fun time that we had, sort of all the good times and the bad time and the tough times and all. and then i'd look into the eye of my SM and say and still we are stuck up together. And then I think my SM is going to miss me a lot so I'd wink and whisper into the ears and say don't worry this temporary seperation will also see us through only to be one again up there, with that i'll wink with both my eyes only to be opened up there.So what did I possess at the time of death and after ?Only my SM.So my SM is the world to me so I'll see I live my life here well to enter heaven also to be with. No nonsense here.

Because the trip from the begining to the end is far more fulfilling and enlightning than anything that can be materially pocessed.
Possessions, power, or prestige is nothing at that moment in time, but what you have learned on the way......it's hard to describe. I want to say priceless. I know it sounds cliche, but its true. At least for me.

When I die, I don't care how much money is in my bank account, how many acres of land I'm leaving behind, or how many strangers thought I was a good person.

I will only care about those that I love and respect. Their opinions of me will be all that matter. If my family and dear friends can look at me lying there dying and tell me that they truly enjoyed my company and that I will be dearly missed and that I am most fervently loved, I will be content to pass on.

When my Nana(deceased) was in hospital at the end of last year she had lost most of the control over her bodily functions, she was never particularly wealthy or powerful but now she did not even have that. The one thing she could willingly do was smile. It was a small curve at the edge of he mouth but that was her one way of expressing herself, all she had. It hurt her to smile, she could not do it for long, about two minutes was all she could stand.

When she had visitors, her family and friends, she got to see which people really cared. She gave all she had to those people, she gave every last smile to the visitors.

Although it hurt her she knew that it was all she could do for them. Soon enough the smile was not all she had, she had friends.

Happy Questioning

I want people to talk about how I lived my life, not what I lived it in. A fancy house, a sports car and designer clothes mean nothing if no one loves you. When I die, I want people to talk about how kind I was to them, how much fun we had when we were together and how I was there when they needed me. Not the car I drove that spent the entire parked in a parking lot when we went out, or the size of the TV we watched movies on.

well...what are you going to remember? what is going to stand the test of time? how much love you gave to people or all the nice things you bought for yourself instead of helping people who may have had a miserable life?

Jesus wants us to treat others as we would like to be treated. so although we should mind our own business, if there are people in some impoverished country or weak people that are being abused we need to step in and help.

would you rather have people at your funeral who genuinely love and care about you and are going to miss you or a bunch of people who squeeze you in the day and are just going to go back to life as normal...

people make you happy. humans crave interaction and love.

When your physical body dies, all you have of "value", and what you take with you, is your consciousness level/frequency. That determines where you "go" next. That's why life is really "fair", ultimately.

The rich, famous, obese and ego ridden usually have a rating of "quite low" in that area, because they've been feeding their egos all their life. Those who had a clue have been feeding their "consciousness level" no matter what the cost :)))))))))))))))))

How right or wrong, that 'Historical Fable' is, I don't Know ! ! !
If you knew you were going to 'Bite the Big One" and there was no chances to the contrary.
WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT, OF WORRYING ABOUT $, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOU CONTROL. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. So it's not prestigous, it'll happen to everyone EVENTUALLY.
