At any moment, we all think about things that we want to have happened, somethings that could have been different, moments that we cherished, moments that we lost, people we want to be with, people that helped us, people that saddened us, the goal that we want to reach, a movie that we liked so much, the fun that we had in school, the hardships we endured during challenging times, parents, teachers that made an affect on us, a role model, the place we want to visit, the money we want to have ..
Ever stopped to think what will we do when we receive all that we wanted, or did not receive all that we wanted - we will feel happy or sad, blissful or angry... and then we want to do something else. At the end of the life, we have accumulated lot of happy moments, lot of sad moments, people that we loved to love, people that we hated to love. We do things that we are doing now on a scale of an infinite life time (80-100 years) and we have planned so many things that we like to occur during particular years in the timeline. What if we know this timeline is limited and it is short.. will we continue doing the same things... will we still love the loved ones and still hate to love the others... will we chase the current goals or do something higher than that..

Here is the ultimate question

What will you do if you know you are going to die in 6 months?

Movie: Ikiru by Akira Kurusawa
PS: Ikiru = To Live
