Some people ,when they look back at life,think they have lived a good life.

Well,the problem with that assessment is that

1)The past wasn't as great as our memories make out to be.
(Nostalgia is almost always a lie)

2)What matters is the current sensation of pleasure and suffering
(in the current spacetime)

Most people have an optimistic outlook, a Pollyanna syndrome, so it's normal for them to think that way, even if they've spent their lives in a trench. There's a study in which people are asked if they are good drivers or above average, and most respond that they are, which is totally illogical statistically.
