I find I cannot live each day as if it were my last. I remember an episode of The Simpsons where Homer was told to do that — you saw him sitting on a curbside crying his eyes out. Funny. I think some people if you told them it was their last day on Earth would do some strange things, things that they only do without regards for any of their consequences. Telling your boss just where he can stick his requisition forms, for instance. It would, in these circumstances, be less than beneficial to live as if no tomorrow existed for you. But even in the spirit of the idea: to seize the day as if there were nothing else ever to be: that seems to me an exhausting proposition. Yes, yes, take care of today, but burn no bridges, and do not light the candle at both ends; tomorrow you shall be needed again, it comes by and by, 'tis nowhere near the end.
