There will be no improvement after you die. Things will forever remain where they were at that last moment. At least on this earth. You could go either way with this, you could say, well, what’s the use if I work hard to improve my knowledge base, and skill base? If I’m going to die and that is the end of the game, then why even keep score?
I get that, it doesn’t quite feel right, but I get it. It kind of makes sense. But it still doesn’t feel right to give up somewhere in time, long before your final time has come.
The other way is to enjoy the life of improvement, not worrying about the score a the end, but the playing of the game as long as you have the strength to compete. Compete with whom you might ask? Well I don’t know. Yourself, those who have gone before you a family member, your version of who you think you should be, some historic figure. I really don’t have anybody in mind that I want to live up to. I just want to be the best me along the way and have some fun while I’m tooling along. I want to get better, in every way.
