The value of a life is not measured by the amount of wealth and possessions accumulated but by the quality of the time spent while living. Some have chosen to concentrate on the former and spend their lives guarding their wealth with little time left to give to others. Their legacy is associated with money and power but not of empathy and compasion for their fellow man.

Those who are remembered with love, fondness and respect, regardless of their wealth or social status, have truly had a life well lived.
