I also agree that accepting your mortality makes life a lot easier. Not necessarily more meaningful or anything like that, but easier. For instance, you can think you really fucked something up on a particular day, but you know deep down it's nothing more than a momentary worry.

Yeah I suppose that gets at the root of it. There may be some things that I would want people to know that I never told them while I was alive so I guess a last testament would be good for that.
And yeah you're right on with the idea of momentary worry. I mean we all might die at any moment, and that makes the small-picture things even smaller.
