Just going back to what Chula said about dying happy v dying miserable depending on how you've lived your life. I can't remember where I heard it but I do love the idea, even if I don't believe in it. Some religion or something believes that when we die we end up at the bottom of a mountain. Atop the mountain, at the summit, is heaven or paradise or whatever, so you have to climb the mountain.
BUT...
You have to do so carrying all the people who you ****ed over in your life. So if you're a real bad person who caused a lot of hurt, killed or otherwise wronged people, you're going to have a pretty heavy burden to carry. Makes the whole idea of paying for your sins in the afterlife really work.
