Imagine suddenly you no longer exist, poof, from one day to the next there is no more you.
What if you knew that this day would come in a month?
What if it wasn’t for another year?
Or in 5 years?
Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now?
If so, why aren’t you already doing it?
Others have said it in the thread, but this is simple. When your time is short (or shorter), the length of time you need to deal with the consequences of your actions disappears or diminishes significantly.
So the real question is actually, what would you do if you didn’t have to deal with the consequences? And I think asking it any other way is disingenuous.
See my reply above …. Some of us do take the question differently. Some of us have unfinished business we’ll do anything to finish, even if we never see it. Done of us _only_care about the cnsequences
