The egyptians believe that when you arrived at their heaven they were asked two questions that determined if they would be allowed in or not


Have you felt joy?

Have you brought joy to others?



Now .. how would YOU answer those questions?

Yes, I have felt joy...through my brothers, mother, and wife. Also, through basketball [even though I do not play anymore.] I felt joy through all the things in my life, but also just knowing that I am alive and healthy.

Have I brought joy to others? Well, I would hope so. My best friend died of cancer 4 years ago, and I know I kept myself stable...because I felt I needed to be there for his family. Before he died, he told me to not let anything change and to not let people grieve to much for him. I think in someway, I gave him joy up in heaven...I didn't grieve as much as I should. In August, I will be a father, hopefully I will bring joy to my daughter.

More or less, that is how I would answer that question.

Have I felt Joy? Very, very rarey. But when I did it was more amazing than any drug I could imagine.

Have I brought joy to others? I wouldn't know, you'd have to ask them.

well
I guess its my turn to answer this

Have I found Joy... yes in many places in my life I have found immense joy, I find joy in almost everything from having coffee on my porch watching the sunrise ..listening to the birds greet the day to bantering with all of you folks on here. To me .. the meaning of life is to find joy in the simple.

Have I brought joy to others... that is a much harder question to answer. I sincerely do hope that I bring more joy than anything else to people. I can only hope that I have anyway.
