This is fascinating. It reminds me of a line from Hamilton: "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory". Lin-Manual Miranda has said that was the most auto biographical thing he's ever written and that he thinks his drive and positivity both come from that attitude.
I wonder if there's an easy way to replicate the exercise yourself. Perhaps every month write a letter to be read out at your funeral? One idea I had years ago but never did was to make a short video for my funeral every year where I shared my thoughts, fears and hopes and where I was in life. The idea was I could look back in future and see how far I'd come, but that it would also be useful exercise at the time.
- downvoted 7y agoI'm also a big fan of reading out my favourite quotes. If you're not sure what to say for your funeral then try to imagine yourself saying them, what do they say and where would you want them read out? A bit like a funeral speech, but a little more personal.
