days as there was no tomorrow

words and smile.

How many times have we repeated the cliché "you have to live (kissing, love, work, believe, etc..) And there's no tomorrow "to emphasize a purpose-and to counsel," putting more substance to living? I speculate that too. And also, as mere speculation, I would say that this phrase repeated over and over again because we believe that yes it will, there will be many mornings yet. But ... what if I had not really? Lately I have been surprised spent thinking about that cliché, that could well have been coined by Paulo Coelho or any other philosopher of Luck Club. Lately I think about it with unusual frequency. In that sentence motivational and other. How would know, be absolutely certain -If it were possible, "that there will be no tomorrow, only today is not as metaphor but as a definitive time limit. Recommend to live, feel love, kiss, etc. as if no tomorrow is as easy as saying good day. The other not so much. I was never gloomy or anything. Even in these times of violence (as the title of Hollywood film, including its aesthetic gore) that live in Mexico. And suddenly, that is something that occupies my thoughts, consuming part of my time and to distract me from pleasant things like writing and reading. Not because I believe that there is no tomorrow for the world and that terrifies me the fulfillment of the according to Mayan prophecy that the world will end in 2012 and even by the collateral damage to which we exposed the citizens of this country. No. It's just not caused entirely explain. Not a proper burial idea, but one that keeps me from completely detachment with which so far had looked death. On more than one occasion I have been sick, never serious, but even feeling really bad the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath has haunted my mind as something achievable in the time available. That is, I think of it as the inescapable fact is. To everyone, without distinction of any kind, such as an expiration date default, but indefinitely. Now it's different. Now think about the need to comply with the mandate of that cliché phrase I was talking about at first. Not as a 'boost enthusiasm', but actually to live like no tomorrow because, perhaps, "do not really have ... and I'm surprised not to feel scared, although a little sad because they did not know how to do well, because too many things I want to do with the momentum that comes from knowing that there is no tomorrow ...

I had promised that after the previous post, sad and angry, write something funny and I could not keep my self-promise, for this feeling, halfway between the gloom and uncertainty, I have had right now and instead of levity occurred to me, I came to mind these disparate ideas about the uncertainty of life ...

much fun you forgive this post. Must be because of unclean scorching heat to Mexico City, caking my neurons ... when melting ...
