The thing is, we're not guaranteed to wake up tomorrow. I think most people don't truly believe they're going to die. Or, at the very least, they think they're guaranteed and deserving of a long life. Death is just something that comes when you're 80+ years old, eh?
I just got back last week from Thailand. Last year, I went to an island in the Caribbean. I'm 27. I've no idea if I'll make it to 40 years; I'm not going to wait to live my life. I can imagine being 40 and wishing I went to Thailand when I was 27 though.
(I'm still working incredibly hard btw.)
- badpun 3y agoThat's what actuarial tables are for. Assuming you're a 27 year old male living in the US, your chances of making it till you're 40 year old are around 97%. This number is based on population averages, so, if e.g. you don't do heavy drugs, your chances are way higher (given that overdose is a leading cause of death in young people).
