good point about the final analysis being between you and God (or you and you, or you and whatever) ...
NOT between you and the world's opinion of you.
I think that because we (for obvious reasons) judge dead people by our/the world's opinion of them, we (living humans) tend to think that's how we should evaluate our own lives--that the evaluation that will matter when we're dead is that of the still-living people.
But that makes no sense--if you're dead, you're off doing something else and aren't connected to your past personality, so who cares what people think of it, ya know?
