Dead People, did they waste the chance they had got?

Good morning,,,
On my way to my work, I have to pass daily by the cemeteries, and it is one of my curiosities to read the headers of all the tombs I pass by, and to check the names, the dates, as much as I can according to speed of the vehicle I am in. I watch people who left this life decades ago, some are Pashas ( a great appraisal in my country, also a title which was given to rich people during the Ottomans rulers)and some are real poor people, some are artists, and some are religious personnel,any how my question which keep rolling in my head, where are these people now? what are they doing?are they suffering,enjoying,listening to us? and what I just can tell myself is this, I have a great, great chance as I am still living why shall I waste it, it is only one chance and after it is immortality, whether in heaven or in hell, if I was playing a game, let's say a very attractive game and all what is left for me is only one life left in this game,and if I am aiming to get the highest marks I can with only this life, wouldn't I be very, very careful not to lose this life I have, and not to go through any risks in order not to lose this life?!. The problem is that life is not a joke, nor a game, and above all we are being advised, day and night to follow the real truth, and to impact the charities, in our behaviors,and for that I feel that we have no chance to escape the punishment as much as we will gain the appreciation in the end of ....life. Just some thoughts that pass my head day and night as I pass-by these cemeteries daily.I really pity for the bad, and delight for the good...
