What I Think I Know

“Just trying to do the hardest thing of all – to understand”

Question 1: Have you found joy? Question 2: Has your life brought joy to others?

Question 1: Have you found joy? Question 2: Has your life brought joy to others?

— Nilus Mattive

Toward the end of the movie Bucket List, after Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson finish climbing to the top of a pyramid in Egypt, Freeman asks Nicholson two questions.

He says, “The ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls go to the entrance of heaven the gods asked them two questions.

Their answers determined whether they were admitted or not.”

Question 1: Have you found joy?

Question 2: Has your life brought joy to others?”
