Watching 6 hours of Grey's Anatomy at Lydia's house got us talking.
It's interesting how in the show once someone is told they are going to die they change their life. Sometimes it's not even a short period of time in which they will die, just knowing that they will makes them do things they want to do. One lady sold her house, quit her job, dumped her loser boyfriend, and was going to take a trip just for herself that she has always wanted to.
It's all good that these people do the things they want to finally, but I was thinking "Why does hearing you're going to die make you change your life around? Isn't birth a death sentence?" It seems people go about life with the sole purpose of avoiding the inevitable. We live in ways that will prevent our death, but it's going to happen to all of us and we know it.
Now I don't mean to be a downer, because that's not my point. My point IS we all already have a death sentence. We all already know we are going to die. So what are we waiting for? Why does it take a doctor telling us that our days will be numbered for people to start really living their lives? People should live TODAY. We all have numbered days. We all will die. So start living the live you want to live now. Don't wait to be told your time is up.
