Things To Do Before You Die

четверг, марта 08, 2007

 

As it is generally awared that we human beings are all in the same life cycle of birth - life - death, this fact does not reflect what most of us do or try to do in everyday living. We still live our lives with no preparation or planning ahead of things or goals we should achieve prior to our death in years to come. There is one saying that tells us to 'live each day like the last day of our life' as can be found in some movies or song like "Life Or Something Like It," "The Music's No Good Without You," etc.

If you visit the nearest bookstore, there could be a chance you will find a book with titles like "100 Things To Do Before You Die," "100 Places To See Before You Die," "100 Paintings You Must See Before You Die," "100 Dishes ...," "100 Books ...," "100 Museums ...," and so on. Interesting? It is intriguing to note that books with titles like these sell themselves with such a concept so private and so individual. To believe in doing things or seeing items or tasting dishes suggested in the book is an expression of brainwash or the like. Freedom and free will are what make us and the society evolve and innovate.

Of course, it is personal judgement to decide what, when, where, how to do anything. In a sense that our conscience keeps us awake and ready, there still are things that overcome our six senses, like at the moment I am very sleepy.

"so private and so individual"
Too true.
Things that some people say is a must might make others go 'bah!'

We could list our personal 'Things to Do Before I Don't Have a Chance to' then share them, and remind each other to seize the day :P
