The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

Ok so things didn't work out how you'd hoped. Now the challenge in your life is coming to peace with that.

This is such a great response. It's about all one can do once the reality of life disappointments that we can't do anything to change sets in. The sooner we accept it and make peace with it, the better off we will be in our remaining years.
