With all of the time I have, I am an insult to the dead.
In context, the person is saying they feel like they are wasting their life and that innumerable people in the past would've killed to have the kind of free time or life they have.

"Why not? You and I are eccentrics. We’re certainly not typical of the people living on Terminus. As for criminals, that’s a matter of definition. And if criminals are the price we must pay for rebels, heretics, and geniuses, I’m willing to pay it. I demand the price be paid. [...] You can't have geniuses and saints without having people far outside the norm, and I don't see how you can have on only one side of the norm. There is bound to be a certain symmetry." - Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
