entombed

You and I could die in our sleep this very night. It happens... human life is sometimes extinguished by a force unknown and unseen, the life just ends, ceases to be, dead in one's sleep. So if you knew that this was your fate, that the outcome of falling asleep tonight was never waking up, would you be happy with your life? Did you make the most of the time you had? Have you realized a dream? Have you accomplished a goal? Have you stood up to your fears? Have you ... lived? But what if it was not tonight that you expire, but two nights from now. If you ask the same questions, does the answer change? Would you want to make a difference? And if you did, can one extra day of living give you enough time to make a difference? But what if it was not tonight, or two nights from now, but a full week. Do your answers change? Instead of the week a full month, or a full year, or even 50 years. Given 50 years, you can do so many things that there is no real urgency, no need to rush or hurry to do anything. But you and I don't have 50 years, we don't even know if we will have tomorrow. So do you live like every day may be your last or do you live like you have all the time in the world, because we both know that you do not.
