When we're about to die, what we think about?

Many work years to build a career, to have a decent job. But i wonder.. when we die, is it really the career that we think about? Or we realise that all we did was go to the office, and we barely had some time for ourselves or for our friends.. What do you think?

That is so true, Ella. At the end of the day that is all that matters. We want ourselves to be happy and the persons close to us to be happy. Most of the time we get involved in our struggle in life, career that we neglect the things that really matter to us.

I think for me when we're about to die is that there will be a flashback of what was our passed. We could see our childhood days, our long long time friends and relatives.

Hello, When we die we first think about our near and dear ones. Then right before we die we think about ourselves. We think about our own life and our accomplishments. In a quick flash back everything that we've done in our life becomes visible in front of our eyes. It's more like a recapitulation. In such a time how much you've accomplished as an employee or as a businessman seems to fade away. The only thing that you can think of is how fruitful your life was as a mere human being. Some people build a great financial career but achieves nothing concrete in their lives. When they die, they die in a great mental agony and with a feeling of discomfort and emptiness. That is why we should live our life with fulfillment. Thanks. God bless you.

Dying is a process for everyone. I think most of us will be heavy-hearted to leave. We'll think of our love ones, our knowledge and whether we have enjoyed enough in life. Therefore, since you already know that dying is unavoidable, do spare sometime for your loves ones and yourself. Don't work like a workaholic... :D Have some fun and you'll never regret living :D All the best to you!
