Is it better to burn out or fade away?

[Serotonin]

I take life for granted sometimes and i realize selling yourself short in life is the worst because your wasting your only chance of making anything of yourself or ideas.If i only had a few years left to live would i live with no fear and reckless abandon or would i take more caution to prolong what i have left .
the latter would be more beneficial to your family and loved ones.So how one would react would depend on Selfishness.....or Thoughtfulness and Consideration

hmm..very true on ur last sentence serotonin...it really does depend on how the person is as to wut they would do if they knew how limited their time on earth was....i must say that i'd probably just wanna live my life as i was living it rite now..maybe do things that i said i'd do when i was older btu instead....i'd do them now...but i wouldn't change my life much...i wouldn't want disrupt it and make the lives of other people's weird just cuz i wanna change my own...i would live as i am living now...yeah~?:032:

I'd rather be known as the considerate one, than being selfish...


I ripped this question out from the spark's personality test... "Would you rather be forgotten, or hatefully remembered??" hehe

If you live your life too carefully, you never get to experience what life really means. Always scare the crap out of yourself once a day to show you how special life is.

I don't mean you should go out and be bitter, mean and nasty to people or totally reckless end endanger others either. But live the last years of your life as if they are the most important thing you have. Make the most of the time you have and make a mark for yourself.

Always tell people you care about how you feel and how much they mean in your life. Why? Because you never know when your time is up. I could not bear to think what the afterlife would be like if I wanted to tell someone I loved them, but died before I had the chance to do so and then they would never know.

IMO, you are only gone once people don't think of you anymore. That would be truly sad.

i don;t really know if this really fits the subject but if you had a loved one that was dying would you try and keep them alive as long as possible even though you knew that they were so ready and wanting to just let go or would you keep them for as long as you could cause you couldn't bare to let go?

i have no clue what i would do. it would kill me to see the person suffering but to just have them in your life for those few extra moments would feel so good cause you know once they are gone they are never gonna come back i hate situations like that!

sorry if this isn't really the same subject but it just got me thinking and i couldn't stop!

if they were dying to go and wanted to go themselves I would let them go. not let them.. cuz it wouldn't be my choice.. but i would accept letting them go. because inside they feel they're dead already. wanting to die isn't a quick simple choice I think if you decide to die then you've already made that choice inside. .you've prepared yourself, you have the courage to let yourself go... let everything go. Having already gone to that point already, would you want that person to stay? They hurt inside, they don't want to go either, but they want to be free... would you selfishly want them to stay?

i would want them to go.
