WOuld You Hasten Your Death or You Would Live It to The Fullest... Maybe,some would say that, "I'm going to get drunk everyday, smoke my lungs out, paint the town red, gamble all my money..I'm going to die anyway..So, why not have a merry life, at least I'd be happy before I die.." Maybe, other will say, " I'll spend the rest of my days with my family" or "will give all my money to charities", or "will do good deeds".. Which one are you???

I think I will make merry with my family. I could not give my money to charities because my kids are still young and not yet earning. So I would spend the maximum time with them!

It depends for me, on the current situation I would be into. For me, I would take time to gather all my friends (new and old), the people that I also do wrong with and ask for their forgiveness, then we would all celebrate to make them realize the value of life and forgiveness. I don't think I would be that rich to share what I have, but I will sure give everything what is left of me to provide help to those who really needs it. I think that's what I see for myself when that time comes, hopefully I could fulfill it and do the best I could..

I'd do something that would make a lasting impression to somebody. I'd look for a child whose parents can't afford to send to school. I'd sponsor that child's education and ask somebody to continue the support even when I'm gone. That way i know I've done something worthwhile and that child will grow up to be a good person. I'll be happy thinking I've contributed to a person's well being. Since I have kids, I'd try to do whatever I can to make their dreams come true no whatever how trivial it is. Like, my daughter wanted to take guitar lessons. I've been putting this request aside for sometime now, maybe now, I'll really take her to enroll in those lessons.

I would choose to live life to the fullest. But it does not mean that I will be spending my life just to make myself happy. I would rather choose to spend it to make other people happy and feel blessed. What is the meaning of happiness if you only enjoyed it by yourself. If you die, better die with worth. Worth not only given to your self, but also shared with other people. We all lived not only for our own selves. We also live for other people. All of us has a mission to accomplish. Helping other people, making them feel that they are special, listening to people when they needed someone to talk to. These are small things that money can't buy. But it would mean a lot. Living our lives should not only be centered on our own personal needs and wants. We should also live for other people. This will make our life worthy of living.

Of course I want to say I would do the responsible thing and spend it with my family and leave the money to the children, but when you are hit with YOU are going to die only God knows how I will react. I do not have the personality for all of the addictions you mentioned. I can imagine myself being very scared and therefore wanting to stay away from my family so I couldn't see the pain in thier eyes. I just don't know for sure what I would do.
