In the end, we should learn how to live this life as how Buddha teaches us; to let go of things not meant for you, to let go of greed and earthly desire. That's when you would reach the state of peace.
How much you loved? I think what is really being said here is that it’s important to allow love to be the basis for our thoughts, words and deeds. We should be able to treat anyone with loving kindness, even if they are not related to us or in a relationship with us – in fact, especially if they are not. Treating people with love doesn’t have to mean letting people into our lives. It may simply mean refraining from judging a person. This is often harder than it looks.
How gently you lived? In my honest opinion is all about how you live your life fully. To simply live in the present, not fearing the future and do your best for the moment. To maximize each and every little time you had.
The third part talks about letting go. That’s definitely a Buddhist concept, but it’s a good one, because there are an awful lot of things in this world that we really need to let go of. That includes, money or material possessions, social status, any other greed and jealousy. Last but not least is the earthly desire. We all had something we really want, but let me tell you "Let the universe works its magic on you as you can't force things that is not meant for you to happen."
It's something good to think about. Cheers.
