Very well said. I completely agree with your summary points, especially number 3. Mentioning death by drunk driver is particularly important. It's easy to get the idea that you have 70+ years to achieve all the things you want, but it can all be snuffed out on a drive you take every day.
- thwarted 15y agoMentioning death by drunk driver is particularly important. It's easy to get the idea that you have 70+ years to achieve all the things you want, but it can all be snuffed out on a drive you take every day. If I'm dead, it's not like I'm going to have much ability to regret anything. The problem isn't death, but crippling debilitation that doesn't leave one dead but leaves one in a state where the unfinished goals can't be done. Even then, there's an infinite amount of things you couldn't get to, so this seems like a waste of time to fret over. Even if it motivated you to get a lot done, I'm not sure I want to live my life under the constant specter of fear of death or disablement. That doesn't sound very exciting, and doesn't lead one to take even the slightest risk.
