Such theologist as Erikson and Maslo explored stages of human developement, and came to establish a pyramid of stages that one must reach to achieve the pinnicle of life... And therefore be "ready" to die. The final stage, Self Actualization, is more or less a period of reflection. When you're old, life isn't necissarily for living, but rather reflecting on what once was in order to make death acceptable. Many people like to feel as though it's never too late to change and make life fullfilling... Personally, I feel like that isn't really true. You can make yourself believe anything, but, to what extend does your subconcious truly support your thinking?

So, are you leading a life worth reflection... Are you ready to die?
