In recent years my fear of dying often crops up when I'm at heights, I have this feeling I'm going to die from a fall. Other than that, I haven't really given a lot of thought about death.

I've made plans to make sure I won't end up on the streets when I grow old, and up till now I'd say I've had a pretty good life, and done pretty much what I want to do. The only things I would like but haven't done are all materialistic stuff like flying first class, going to the Antarctica, I won't die with regret if I don't do it.

We have a saying in our culture, "not as good as the ones above, a lot better than the ones below". Being content is where I am now. A bit like on Hive really.

There's a lot to be said for contentment; that doesn't mean one has reached the maximum and cannot/should not work towards improvement though, it's about being happy in each moment, content with what one has done with it, which brings less chance for regret, and I think that's what helps make life feel more fulfilled.

We all have things we want to do, like Antarctica for instance, and if they're important enough they'll happen, although finding happiness and contentment generally, even through simple things, is one of the elements that make up a good life, for me at least. Many small enjoyable moments are preferable to holding out for the big ones that may not occur very often.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
