“It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time”. Dr. Johnson

This is a paraphrase of a famous saying of Epicurus, but important nonetheless. How have you lived? With love and kindness for friends, family or community, or resentfully like a curmudgeon? How honest have you really been? How selfish and thoughtless?
How careful of the environment? How generous to good causes and people less fortunate than yourself? Are you able to see yourself as others see you? If so, what is the fair verdict?

These are just a few of the questions a thoughtful, self-reflective person will ask. Epicureans must surely ask them, and resolve to improve where improvement is needed.
