An Alternative Perspective (that I may get some flack for). (Off-Topic)

There is a difference between "not wanting to die" and "realistically understanding that you will die."
I think it's possible for both ideas to coexist within a person. I certainly don't want to die today and so I act accordingly, nor do I want to die soon (I am 31, I can possibly expect 40+ years), so I also act accordingly by saving for retirement, working out and eating healthier than I used to (not by much). But I also am well aware that I will die, and thus I should try and enjoy life while I can. Hence, I might have more dessert than I should, or splurge on a meal or outing. Thus, I reiterate, it makes sense to keep both ideas in mind.
