It is foolish to optimize your entire life just to feel a certain way in the last 5 minutes.

- TeMPOraL 10y agoFrom brief exposure to various death-bed regrets, I get the impression that people generally regret what they didn't do. I.e. if one had a family-focused life, they'll regret not doing anything useful. If they worked hard to help their community or the world, they'll regret not spending enough time on relationships or not starting a family. Etc.
