Day 87B,
Another paradox:
If you truly lived like you would die tomorrow, your life would devolve into chaos.
If I had 24 hours, I would drive out of town to be with my family. But I don't live like that, so am I a hypocrite?
If I had 6 to 12 months, I would go travelling around the world, but I don't, because I am accountable for the likely 40-50 years after those 6-12 months are gone. But then again, it could be 5-10 years; does the logic still stand?
I would instead picture one day as a brick. You can place it wherever you'd like, but you only build a meaningful life if you place it at the same spots each day. You need to put as many bricks in the places that matter to you. You could even build an empire with enough days - and enough of other peoples' days (employees, etc.).
You might be cut down before you can do that, but that approach has the highest likelihood of success.
