If I Die Tomorrow

The qoute "Live as if you would die tomorrow" is without a doubt one of the most popular quotes of all time. The logic being that one should not waste life away, and that one should live it to the fullest. Of course most of us know that this quote actually has alot of flaws in it. The major one being, is the great disregard for the concept of "delay of gratification".

If I somehow knew I were truly going to die tomorrow, I most certainly would do the following:

1. Eat all the chocolates I can eat
2. Request charity sex from every beautiful girl who comes my way
3. If item number 2 does not work, try paying for it
4. Use up all of my credit cards' limits (heheh)
5. Drink myself into purgatory

And I am not totally kidding too.

I believe that life is long enough to enjoy, yet short to easily waste. We are given with alot of chances..to try..to fail and to succeed..to change. Surely one must understand that this experience is perhaps never to repeat again, and to utilize it one must find ways to grow..to build..and to create. Acts or philosophies of desperation just doesn't cut it.

One should live life as if he is to live again tomorrow. Or more accurately, one must live wanting to live again tomorrow, fully knowing that he has to face the consequences of his actions at the same time going to enjoy the rewards of his toils. There are moments to enjoy, and moments to savor...but the good life is mostly based on the concept of planning and holding-out for better things.

Hmmmm...perhaps I should really start hitting the gym everyday...the reward of course would be to radically increase the success rate of item number 2.

Hehehe.
