I believe that once in a while every person should visit a cemetery and sit for while in there. And look at the funeral stones and realize that regardless of who that person was, owned or wanted to do, it is now dust in the wind. It can be a good exercise for taming the ego.
I believe that some people are dead even if they are alive because they stopped living long time ago. They are just waiting for death to come and cut the agony of their existence. I think that if an individual finds and pursues a worthy goal in life which is aligned with this talent he can be very happy in the last day of his life. I think that the worst thing that can happen is to die knowing that you did so little to live a fulfilled life while you still could.
To be a living dead is worst than dying, in my opinion.
