To die well

[Koriki]

"I have worked to do my best, and at death all I wish is that someone says, 'Ah, he was a good guy.'"

That's perfect @TaiShi

"and how they view our struggles is a them problem" I like this expression. I'll have to use it. Thanks @Brett

Everyone's answers are so beautiful and intimate and I really appreciate everyone for putting in so much effort.

I imagine if I'm asked what it means to die well from year to year, the answer will change. I've been mulling this question for about a year, and this is what I have refined it down to.

To be able to welcome the rest.

This is an interesting idea and the older I get (which might be due to getting closer to middle age) the more I think about impacting the world in a positive manner. I think as long as I try to have a positive influence on people's lives in my career and private life I'd say I have died well. Even then if I attempt to make the effort whether or not people appreciate it, it should be enough. (Context is I work with people experiencing homelessness and not all of them want to be in the programs)
