If this will be the last day of your life, what will you do?

This question has been a very common question to some but to others, it may seem absurd. However, I am posting this because I want to see if they will do the same thing that I think I will be doing.
When you are not hurting, you may have a logical thinking of the things that you would want to do. However, when we are actually sick and in pain, we cannot actually do anything but feel sorry or succumb to the pain or feeling of being ill. I realized that illnesses limits us from doing what we actually want to do. So how about knowing that it will be the last day of your life, then you are in pain, how will you actually do what you intend to do?

Since you said this is common question to some, it is common to some person also to ask "why this happining to me?". However, if this very moment is the last day of my life, first I will think all those bad things I've done to my family, to others and to God. After I remembered all I'll try to talk and call (whatever applicable) to ask their forgiveness, then I bow my knee to ask forgiveness also from God for all the things I've done mistake to Him. Then prepare myself and try to accept whatever destiny aheadh of me.... see you around.

I may do the same. I will say sorry to them and I will tell all of them that I love them. Right now I don't have the courage to say it. But maybe, if I will pull my last breath at the very moment, I will have no inhibitions to say it.

If I were to live the last day of my life, I'd rather spent most of my time with my loved ones and stay in the presence of the LORD. I think there's no safer place on earth especially when you know you're dying than to stay close to your GOD. I think being ill cannot limit us to do the things we want to do as long as our minds are in right thinking. We can still talk to GOD and pray even with our minds and continually pray for our loved ones up to our last breath.

Hi snowhybiscuis,
I am not sure about others and their stories but I feel that once I am told that today is my last day, I literally would end up getting nothing done by the time it is all over.
Simple reason -
there are so many things that I would start thinking that I should do and there would be very little time left for getting all those done...
then I would start to identify which ones are more important and by that time I am done with this list, most of the avenues of fulfilling them would be over for the day. for example- the offices may get closed the shops may get closed by the time I decide that I should shop... so it is not assured either.
then the frustration would overcome me that I failed to do anything correct at least on the last day of my life and that would suck me right into it...
So at end... I could do nothing and that is how I would die if I were told that this is the last day of my life.
Cheers,
theSids.

Thanks thesids. That is a very honest answer. Maybe we should think simply and maybe we should cherish the moment we spend with our love ones. Anyway, I hope you'll have a meaningful day ahead of you.

I think we need to say that every time that we have a chance to do so. There is this one person that I want to say sorry to. But I am afraid to do it because I fear rejection and I fear that he would take it against me and turn his back on me.

Some of them are my dreams too. But I am limited by financial constraints. I may not get to do all things. That is why I just try to travel vicariously. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Snowhy! If it was the last day of my life, I woul spend the day telling my loved ones how much they meant to me. I would want to make sure that if I did anything wrong that they were made right or rectified to the best of my ability. Then I would want to be around all of my loved ones so I wouldnt be afraid. Happy MyLotting dl

Hi dloveli.

I guess if I knew it was going to be my last day I would not want to bother anybody so they wouldn't feel guilty if they talked to me or not. I would just probably lay down in bed and drift away. I've been in a place where I had to watch somebody drift away and it more peaceful when its private.

Don't you think that is somehow a waste of precious time? Well, I respect your honest answer. But it makes me think that if I do that, it would be a lonely or sad ending.

I would spend the last day with my family instilling in them that I lived a good life and there is nothing to be sorrowful about. I go to a better place, a new adventure. We would go through pictures and remenesce It would be scarey know ing it would be the last day and we would all be very effectionate and emotional.

As far as I am concerned, I think I will still try my best to enjoy life life to the fullest. As we can know the it is the limit time of our life.What we can do? What should be the best choice, I think enjoying life may be a better one. So I will just choose a better way to enjoy life. For example, I can stay with my wife and family to watch a wonderful movie together.have a nice day!

Hmmm... maybe you will indeed get to enjoy it for some moment. But later on, you will start missing them when the time comes close. That's the same feeling I get when I lost my grandmother and when my friend left for the state.

Hi! If this is the last day of my life I will call all my family and friends to thank them and to say I love you to them. Then I will buy all the food that I want to eat and pig out, lol.

The obvious notion is to follow a dream and all that fun stuff but I suspect I'd just keep on doing as I had been doing rather than wasting it away trying to figure which folly or dream to follow. If it were possible, I'd spend it with my Liz. If not I'd spend it in anticipation of seeing her again (She claims she'll die first because she's not strong enough to life without me.)..
ENJOY!

I would try to make the most out of this day. i would spend it doing all of the things I enjoy with the people who mean the most to me. i would also try to make amends with anyone i had ever wronged. I would want to be at peace with myself.

Well that indeed is a very interesting question? How would one be able to do what he ought to do when he's activities is too limited due an illness. If I am that person, I wouldn't want to do the things that I really dreamed of doing. I might think of the possible things that I can do now. The very first thing I would do is pray. I would tell Him to give me thousands of smiles as I leave this world. Then, I will take time to reminisce the past, what have I done wrong and what I have done so right over my favorite drink, peppermint mocha. I would say and do every possible thing that I can each and every remaining days of my life. I think it wouldn't be hard for an ill person to do the things I have mentioned. ^_^

Thank you so much for your answer. Those are easy things to do. I may do the same. But since we don't know what lies ahead, maybe I will find time to do it even though I am not dying. Maybe, during the night, I will try to do some introspection. Happy day to you!!!

If this is the last day of my life then i would first call the persons whom i have hurted the most and say sorry to this.all through my life i would feel the ego problem to let that done.so when i know iam going to die then i will surely wave them an happy Last Good bye first ever than before any of my friends or parents.Then i will thank my parents for baring such an eccentric son like me all these years.And my friends who make this world a happy place to live in.and finally i will thank you fr just making me think about the things which i may do if this was my last day and to plan them well before :)
Happy Mylotting :D
