This is what I have experienced from the victims of violence in the killing fields of Baton Rouge. It kinda of stays with you long after the incident.

I believe mine will be not accepting Christ as my Savior when I was young.
Mine may well be that I wish I had followed Christ's example more rigorously as I grew older. I was about 12 when I accepted Christ as my Savior.
I still recall the feeling and where I was sitting - Two seats from the right hand side of the center section, about a third way back from the pulpit.
I suddenly felt like something was compelling me to go forward - could not have resisted it, but do not recall any second thoughts. I went forward to "rededicate my life." I had "joined the church" a few years earlier, but I realized that I had only done so at the time to "see the Golden Streets of Heaven." At that time I had no regret or even an awareness of my own behavior and how it should be conducted.
I have fallen way way short.

I feel like this depends on the circumstances.
I'd think most people that make it to old age would be pretty exhausted and just be ready for peace. Unfortunately, a lot of them die in nursing homes or hospitals.
Younger people < 65 y/o, I'd think would have a level of regret about not taking more time to smell the roses.

I assume this is referring to the various cancers that are centered around to poor health/nutrition?

We've all seen the obese people in their 30's and 40's on those mobility scooters- that's their life for what little time they have left.
The ones that get me are the young kids (toddlers/preteens) & teenagers that you can tell are already headed down this path. They simply do not know any better because all they can go off is what they learn at home.

they certainly know they are fat, they can feel that they are not healthy, and the correlation between poor habits and obesity is pretty well established
if the educational message was “you don’t have to be fat, fat is not healthy” we’d all be better off

Most people on their death bed ask for their mom. Even people who are married or have significant others. Really interesting is this happens for people who have already lost their mothers as well.
This is true.
They also call out to their grandparents, even though they are long gone.
Also, they sometimes call out to their childhood pets. Which I find interesting.

A bit unrelated to the topic, but all I thought about is Sam Kinison's last words after his auto accident:
"Kinison's last words were reportedly stated to no one in particular at the crash scene as "why now?", then after a pause he asked "but why?", and after another pause, said "okay, okay, okay".
Also, when my mom was dying (maybe 2 minutes before passing), she was calling "mom, mom"; after spending several months not saying a word to anybody due to dementia.
+sigh+

Lots of battlefield accounts of mortally wounded soldiers calling out for their mothers. Also cartel videos.

They spent their last years in and out of physicians' offices and hospitals.
I’ll bet 20-30 years ago a lot of those people would have died much earlier. Nowadays we can keep people alive longer but quality of life is still poor.

thats a good thing.... look at all the mentally ill "being themselves" this day and age. The very root of most religions are to instill self control and not allow society to become a wasteland of wackos "being themselves"
I think that’s just mental illness rearing it’s ugly head. Most people who want to be themselves are going to become trans or identify as horses and shite like that.
