If Today Was Your Last Day

If Today Was Your Last Day

Many people wonder when the day of their death may come. If they knew, they would probably be wondering what they would do to be mostly remembered by. Sometimes it may be better for us not to know, because we do not know how we are going to die. It may be a painful, slow death or it may be a quick, painless death, as if in slumber.
If I knew when I was going to die, I would try to make good impressions on everyone I meet. I do not think I would try to do something dangerous or something that would get me into trouble, only because I would not want those around me to think badly of me and not mourn my death. I would rather them pity my death, but also rejoice for they still have life in them and celebrate life as long as they have it.
What got me to thinking about death is a song called “If today was Your Last Day”. This song talks about what you would do if today were to be the last day you would spend alive. The line in the song that caught my attention was “Today was your last day, tomorrow was too late to say goodbye to yesterday. Would you live each moment like your last?” Think about it. If today was your last day to be alive on Earth, how would you spend it?
