On your deathbed

Once upon a time, there was a young man that had only 4 months left to live. Half of his life had been spent combating his illness, and when he found out that he was going to die anyway, he did not despair and wanted to make the best out of the remaining month of his life.

The day after he found out he was about to die, a new nurse was transferred to the hospital he was in. It was as if she was glowing amidst the depressing background of the hospital. She was beautiful with pale skin and a bright smile, plus she was kind to all the patients she served and listened to them empathetically.

That night, he had trouble sleeping. The new nurse realized this and tried to comfort him. He spoke to her about his plans to do things he always wished he had done, at least something meaningful to everyone, maybe leave a mark in the world.. but nothing seemed... satisfying to him. It's hard to be optimistic when you're facing death, and the truth is he can't think of anything else without getting scared. It was then that she told him these words;

Death.

The most terrifying thing ever to happen to us humans.

Isn't it?

I know a way to make death bearable - good, even.

Its pretty simple, actually.

All you have to do, is fuck up your life. Real bad. Horribly.

Then when you die, you won't gasp for your last breath. Instead, you'll sigh a sigh of relief~

You'll be happy that its all over.

All that shit? All that problems? All that suffering?

Gone.

Phew.

Now, who said doing the wrong thing is bad?

Doing the right thing is bad! Because when the time comes you'll feel sad and it would be hard to part with whatever you've earned and gained in life!

So don't you ever worry about doing the wrong thing anymore, just do whatever you want.

If it turns out to be something right, then you'll be happy now (Heres a tip: Enjoy it! - before its too late).

It it turns out to be something wrong, don't be sad - it'll be something you'll be relieved to leave behind once you're dead!

We're all gonna die someday, so why worry and dread its coming? I say we should invest in this opportunity.

There's really no good or bad in the world, its just whether we'll suffer now and be happy later.. or be happy now and suffer later.

Being able to enjoy life is to be able to happy all the time.

And what better way to do that than to relax and you do whatever you want? Don't worry about the consequences, because you won't need to be around to face them anyway.
