“I’m gonna die
I’m gonna die, and I’m gonna die much sooner than I imagined.
So in preparing for what lies ahead, I’ve come to realize that for much of my life I have been mistaken.
And I’ve failed, I’ve failed not only to comprehend my mortality, but I’ve failed to appreciate it.
And as a result, I’ve failed to make the most of my life.
We turn our backs on the most important duty that we possess, to have a life that is rich in experience. It’s our own independent choosing. Sease your fucking existence folks.
Why don’t we make death our closest fucking companion, so that we can, finally, have a second, a millisecond, to appreciate that little bit of time that we have left.
And most important of all, let’s live well, so that we would fucking die well. Because we’ve never been so close to death than this very moment.”
