Preparing for one's death.
I suppose if one does not believe in Heaven (and Hell as well, I suppose) the 'experience' of death is something that almost all of us have actually experienced, i.e. when we have been anaethasized (sorry - never could spell that word!) or perhaps simply fainted. We experienced nothing and were unaware of the state we were in. Our human experience has to prepare us for dying and that, I would suggest, means leading a life that means we have no regrets, angers of feeling of disillusionment when we learn of our impending death - this, of course, might entails years, months,days, or a matter of a few moments. So to conclude, it seems we have to prepare ourselves for this period without, for most of us not knowing when it will commence. it will be a good investment of time, I'm sure.
