I think that it's worse to live a long life, yet not truly live in all those years, than it is to truly live for a short period of time. There was a relatively young reporter who died in Iraq not that long ago of an aneurism. His brother, who spoke at his funeral, said that he was not really upset, because his brother had lived more in his 30 something years than most people do in their entire life. Funerals and such should really be celebrations of the dead one's life, not mourning because of their death, although this might be hard to do. I think the dead person would rather see his or her family and friends remembering them fondly rather than being upset.
