I appreciate what you're saying, but on the other hand, I wouldn't want to live in a world where everyone lived as if they had only one year to live. Most institutions are already waaaay too focused on short term profits.

To me, guytv’s perspectice is eye opening: live “as if” you only have one more year to live, with a hint that there’s probably more years to come.

It makes me feel like I need to be kind no matter what, not waste time (or at least, not tell myself that I’m wasting my time too many days in a row).
