    I think the dying are maybe not a reliable source of life advice or possible future regrets. Maybe find some healthy 60 year olds or something

      I think many people feel that there is a special emotional or even spiritual weight to dying, and that how you feel about your life at that time matters extra. Is that sensible compared to experiencing feelings for longer while you’re still alive? Maybe not. But I think there’s something to the idea that how it ends it how it finally is forever after that, even if you aren’t around to know about it anymore.
