> The question should not be "when will I die?" but rather "how will I feel about my life in the last moment I'm lucidly able to do so?" -------------------- The second question includes the first as a subset - if I knew I were going to die in a couple of years, there's no way I'd work on things I don't enjoy that have a longer-term pay-off. But, if I live longer than those two years, and have spent everything having fun within them, then I'm kinda stuffed for the long run. We're all gamblers, and happiness may be what we want to walk away from the table with but the odds still matter.
