"The Bucket List"

"Do you know the two questions that the Egyptian gods ask when they decide whether or not you're going to be admitted to heaven?

...Well, the first question they ask is, 'Have you had any joy in your life?' And the second question you're going to be asked is, 'Have you brought joy to others?'"

Have you had joy in your life?

Have you brought joy to others?
