As we near the end of our lives the question that can be addressed is “did we do our best with what we knew with the resources available to us given the circumstances?’
If the answer is “yes” then we can die in peace. If the answer is “no” then we can make sense of our mistakes and attempt to articulate what we have learned from them.
The activities, relationships, and functions on the ego plain are impermanent and wind up being ephemeral when it comes to Truth at the cosmic level of consciousness. The Tao works its way as things go along both good and bad, healthy and sick, rich and poorer til death do we part from this vale of tears.
The predominant emotions at older age are grief and gratitude and in embracing both we experience peace.
