chances

it is not about whether you get what you want by the end of the day. it is whether you tried or not.

here is a situation.

is it better to tell a dying patient that he or she has 50/50 survival rate or no chance.
well not sure.

let's think about it.

if you are told you have no chance of survival what would you do? YOLO? Do everything you ever wanted and no ragrets? or would you just accept and live your day as in every other day. surely you will be YOLO right? Okay it is totally fine to yolo because even normal people are YOLO sometimes. On the other hand, even though you have been YOLO to live life the way you want. Are you 100% happy or in between the laughter and smile you are dying inside - not literally. happy yet unhappy.

how about if you are told you have a chance. Would you take it? Even if the chance is almost nothing and most likely not be true. Would you still take it? Of course. I would like to believe you want to live a second longer. The main idea is you have a chance. How would you act? Would you still YOLO? OR would you actually be good and follow through with the treatment to possibly make you a little better? Believe you actually have control of your life? Be yourself and not implusively YOLO and actually ruin any possible chance you might have?

What about the outcome? everyone die eventually right?

I can't say which situation will result in a more meaningful life but I do believe that being yourself is best. Are you really a YOLO person to begin with? Or you are the type who just want to enjoy every second of being alive and possibly changing your fate.

no wrong answers here.
