I recently saw this quote, "You're not dying, you just can't think of anything good to do."
You know, that thrust me into a re-realization that yes, my life is progressing in a rather linear path to oblivion. Or the end of it . . . however you want to look at it.
For the most part this doesn't bother me too much. I know I'm mortal (or so they keep telling me, I'm disinclined to believe that until I see it with my own eyes) and that potentially I'll die one day. I know that most people are dismayed by this and tend to avoid thinking about their own impending death.
Oddly, I take some satisfaction from it. Knowing that one day everything will be over and one way or another I'll have the answers I desire. Also I know that I have to do what I want with my life while I can because I'm not going to have forever (well . . . maybe) and thus I LIVE. Unlike most people I know who just exist.
You have to go out and do that things that make you feel alive and that you're not dying. Go carpe yourself some diem damnit!!!

I guess some people aren't as sure of themselves when it comes to "the end" because you never know when that will be.
I myself don't worry about the whole concept. (I probably should at least think about it, but it seems like a waste of time to me.)
but yes, people should get out and be more ambitious about living.
