A few weeks ago I heard something in a movie that really caught my attention. The two characters, which were both terminally ill, were discussing what their lives had meant. One made a statement that I have yet to be able to verify. He said that Ancient Egyptian Mythology told this story of what happened when a person died and arrived at the entry to eternity. The gatekeeper asked two questions.
“ Have you know joy?”
“ Have you given joy?”
Two yes responses were required for entry.
I don’t know if this really came from Egyptian Mythology, but it seems like a simple way to quantify the quality of ones life.
