Sometimes you will hear it being said at funeral oratories: "he lived a full life".
I never thought very much about the significance of this. It sounds great, but then when you think about all the stuff that was missed out, what does it mean? He didn't say, "he was a good man", or "he lived a good life". Or "he lived a good life". Or "he managed to achieved this but failed in that".
Just a full life. It can't be that hard. All you have to do is to avoid doing stuff that's "empty". So long as you're occupied with something interesting every waking hour, you're on your way to living a "full life". Somebody says that at your funeral, and everybody thinks, "wow, that's great".
Think, guys, it can't be that difficult. The bar is like way down there.
