You only live once, since it can not be scientifically proven that there is an afterlife, one could assume that when they
die there is nothing left to
experience.
Go
shoplift something once.
Eat your
roomates ham sandwich in the fridge. Try
LSD once. Go
backpacking through the
mountains. Lay out in the
sun no matter how well you
tan or burn. Go to that afterhours
party with the
hookers and
cocaine and
alcohol even though you have to sit in your tiny
cubicle at your
boring,
meaningless job the next day at 8:00 am. Find a
girlfriend/
boyfriend/
significant other and fall in love with him/her. Then cheat on him/her. Then get cheated on. Then get dumped. Or dump them instead. Tell somebody you love them. Tell somebody you hate them. Go for a midnight ride the next full moon. Spend an hour organizing your
album collection, then another hour listening to them and messing it all up again. Tell that
roomate of yours that you want to
murder that he is kicked out.
The point of all this is, no matter how good or bad you may feel, the moment will be gone. Those of us that are still
young we are fortunate to have a little more time to experience these things. Those of us that are
old should look back on their life just once and see if they've done everything no matter how trivial or meaningless it may seem, that they want to do. Even if it is a bad experience.
You only live once.
