It has been said that in order for the Egyptians to pass through to heaven, they were asked two questions, "Did you find joy in your life?", and "Did your life bring joy to others?" Being a Christian (or Catholic by baptism), I often look at my life as I have (or am aging) aged and think of my own mortality and think if this is all that will be asked of me when it comes my time (hopefully) to enter heaven. I know I have found joy in my life (rather later than earlier). And then the more penetrating question remains....did my life bring joy to others? I would hope that somewhere in the scheme of things, that my life has brought joy to someone.
