- Dead but Alive, or Alive but Dead? -
I recently watched a small video clip of a talk given by Alan Watts, and in the short youtube clip , link posted by
, Watts asked
"What would you like to do (with your life) if money were no object?"
"How would you really enjoy spending your life?"
Watts goes on to say
"Forget the money, because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time, you'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living that is to go on living doing things you don't like doing...."
The next line in the video is where the Question of the Day comes from. He states that a short fulfilled life is better than a long miserable life.
So I ask you Steemians, If given one of two choices prior to life on Earth on what type of life would you choose to live, would you choose a short life doing what you love or a long life being miserable, unfulfilled and doing something you don't love and why?
