In ancient Egypt, there was a belief that the god Osiris greets the dead with two questions: Did you bring joy? Did you find joy? I want to live each day so that I can answer with a resounding yes. If not to insure a spot in heaven, at least so that I will know deep in my bones that I have honored the life I've been given and contributed to an uplift in human hearts. What else are we here for?
