Living Like There's No Tomorrow
Philosophy in the Contemporary World 16 (1):79-88 (2009)
| Abstract | This paper explores whether resolving to "live like there's no tomorrow" would be conducive to living life to the fullest. While there is much to commend a life lived with a sense of urgency, I conclude that living like there's no tomorrow, in the final analysis, is neither advisable, nor realizable. In its place I suggest a life lived in mindfulness of the transitory and uncertain nature of our lives | |||||||||
