Interesting topic! The older I get, the more I realize that the chance of this event happening never gets any smaller each time I wake up. Even as you read this, there are hundreds of people that ARE spending their last day today, be it aware or unaware. I made my peace with that one certainty in life already some time ago. I'd look back on my life with a great smile of appreciation for everything I and others have done for me so far and what I did for them. That last day, I would spend as much time as possible with the people I am attached to and tell them what I learned about life. I'd say goodbye with honor. Of course, I would miss those I love, but then again would I not have much time to miss them... What fascinates me most, I think, is that on the last day of my life, I would tell them all the truths about how I really felt (either good or bad) about things and characters that interact with me in my life. This troubles me, because why would I do this as a last thing, a final act of liberation? Why not earlier? Maybe they don't want to hear it. Or maybe they do. Would it not be great to liberate yourself right now from all that? Really live each day of your life as if it were the last? In the meantime, while I try to understand the consequences of such a possible act of (perhaps egoistic) liberation, I think I'll just mask those words I've been dying to say in a smile. One that speaks a thousand words... if you read it well...
