The best part about dying is that nothing will matter anymore. Things hurt as long as I'm alive. With me, the expectations and dreams will also fade away. I don't think the answer to this question could ever be a "yes". As humans, we are programmed to always demand more. That's what keep us going. That's why we managed to make so many discoveries and raised our living standard beyond the comprehension of the animals. Every time we collect money for a new product, we feel like it'll change our life for better and we'll finally be happy, but after a couple of weeks, the charm fades away and we start seeking for upgrades eventually. This is a never ending loop.
I'm not even 30yo yet. I've not even seen all aspects of life. No matter how smart (some) people tell me I am, I feel like I'm still a child. There are so many things I want in life. I want to achieve higher ranks in my career. I want to give my mom a better phase of her life. I want to experience the depths of life and perception that can only be unlocked with femininity, but I don't even have a wife. I want a child and raise him and I want to see if I can be as great of father as my dad is. There are so many skills that I've always wanted to learn. I want to play instruments and finally be able to swim. I haven't built a body that I can look into mirror and say "yeah I'm strong", heck I've not even seen my abs yet.
"It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”- Socrates
And at the end, I want to grow old someday. To become that wise and composed grandpa. I want to embrace the ageing. I want to respect the nature by accepting the reality that I'll soon be dead and give space to younger generations. But the will and work done, will hopefully, forever live on.
I haven't completed so many video games, so I'm not dying yet. Sorry I'm not satisfied at all.

Once in my youth, I'd commented to my father that I was bored. And in his youth he'd been among the inner city poor and so he remarked: "You make your own 'good times'."
And I... from the mouths of babes, remarked in reply... "But Dad, you must first have the 'raw materials'! Only GOD can 'create' from nothing. We humans require resources---"
And so, looking back upon my life's journey, "did I make the best use of the circumstances I'd been presented?
Of the opportunities which presented themselves?
Had I exercised 'contextual insightfulness' ... NOT getting lost in the distractions
of the moment?" And upon THAT moment,
when I'm to be judged by my Maker, can I stand and say...
I'd made choices of which I'd be proud to have made
WITH the information I'd had at MY disposal...
NOT with the clarity of 'hindsight' of a bystander spectator.
NEVER is it EVER more 'true' that "You REALLY had tah BEEN THERE..."
and walked a mile... in MY shoes! ; )
No, but I can't see my self ever sutisfied, I always live as its my last day, and yet there is so much to do, so much help to provide, so much jokes to hear, and jokes to tell
There is still an exprince to have, and I yet to overcome my issues, and open my self to a level I be at least happy with
I would not regret the way I choose to live but I would regret I could not do more before I died. I want to buy drinking water for 10,000 people in Africa and give $2,000,000 to the hospital that saved my best friends life and heal at least one person’s mental disorder with my friendship.

No. Most of my life has just been fighting to exist unrelieved with. I’ve barely managed that and if I died now it’d amount to dying when I was born with some terrible stuff mixed in- other than a good year when I was 6. I think if I die now, better to not have been born.
I'd be pretty satisfied. I've done stupid things. There has been disappointment, loss and heartache. But that's all part of life. It's actually been a pretty amazing ride. I've had lots of wondrous, peak experiences.
I had supportive parents, grandparents and teachers. I'm lucky to have been healthy. I never suffered any unusual trauma or misery. So there's that.
It's been a privilege to experience the wonders of creation with my senses, mind, imagination and emotions. I'm very grateful.
Personally no I'm not ready, and I know I don't have a choice in the matter, life was hit and miss, was born into a dysfunctional family, joined the military at age 18, became I professionally musician and toured the Caribbean in my 20s, from age 26 health went south and every few years more issues and complications arise, was terminated from a top aerospace firm in 2018 for having a stroke on their facility ( as if I planned it), I'm 55 and take life one baby step at a time but If my turn comes up I'm as ready as can be.
I would definiely say so. When I was younger, I was a doormat and didn't know i felt so... empty. Well found it, and have proceeded to live my life the way I want. May have stepped on someone's feet by doing such thing but it what made my life so good- i don't regret what I've done. So yeah, i've done many things that may chop off toes if they knew buut they don't and never felt more alive

Yes.
I have love
and I know that whatever happens and whatever the circumstance, those that know me and those who love me... will (eventually) feel that love till the end of their days as well
and that's very soothing for the soul (= I'd die with many demons inside, and wished I'd found peace within before I died, so I wasn't plagued throughout my life with painful memories
So on the assumption today is it - full stop ! Well , I'd be reasonably happy , but I'd also feel I could have done much much more , so mixed feelings , but at the end of the day it comes back to family , and I'd be very happy that I raised two great daughters , and I could say to myself that I had a good decent crack , but finality is just that , you can't change it , but most probably wish they did a few things differently.
Yes for the most part , especially nowadays on how screwed up this world has become , I would still like to travel more and see the world , but other than that I pretty much experienced a lot so I would be ok
No, I wouldn't be. I'm here, aren't I?
But, with the end being nigh, I would find acceptance and solace knowing, finally, that the pain will end.
Satisfied - very much so. I was given a lot more experiences and 'opportunities' than I had expected in my 20's.
But I'd like to still spend more time with my dogs.
As for people: leaving soon would be a relief to me.
Yes.
But I'd have to do my will again.
If I found out I'm flying today it would be kind of irrelevant.
I've made a difference in this world, that I know. I've always said I'll be here as long as it's in God's plan that I be here. And I'll endeavor to do his will till that day. But I'd be lying if I said I was completely OK with it. I think it's human nature, survival instinct for all of us to try to keep breathing for as long as we can.
I am not satisfied with my life. If I die today, I will end up on gates of hell because I tried but kept failing ((.
I was saved a lot of times by God from dying, from being killed and from fall since my Childhood. I think I still don't understand what am I fighting for.
I mean I feel I tried too hard to get the things and yet whenever I got something after a lot of struggle it was just never worth it.
I don't know what to do.
Definitely not. I haven't even started yet. I'm pretty aware on what I've done in life, and it hasn't been much
I think so for the simple fact I never quit. Some things didn't go my way, made my mistakes but I learned and tried to move forward, plus I tried my best to please God to the best of my ability.
I'm satisfy with that.
No, but I would plan my bucket list and my exit: assisted suicide!
I could always do more but for the most part, yes….
Yes I would be. I would be happy knowing that I did what I believed was right.
Honestly? No, I'm not satisfied with the life I lived, and not happy with what I accomplished, but still no regrets, because I did my best. What can we do more than our best?
I feel I haven't found what I was born for so definitely I won't be satisfied
