A Deep Question

-What would you do if you had one day to live, or a week, or even a shorter amount of time?-

I can never come up with an answer.  Why?  Because I didn't have one.  This has been coming up a lot and it's been bugging me.  I love that song by Nickleback, If Today was your Last Day (I don't actually know what it's called, unless that is the title), you know?  But whenever that song comes on, I feel a sadness inside of me, because I really didn't know the answer to "What would you do?".  And then in Geography class, we got shown a video about a man who only had a limited time to live because of cancer.  Instead of getting the treatment (with only a 10% chance of survival), and possibly surviving and marrying a woman he didn't even love, he called off the wedding and traveled across Canada to live out the rest of his life.  He realized that he didn't want his life to go in this direction; he wanted to have adventures.  And that's what he did.  At the end of the video, the narrator asked the audience multiple questions.  "What would you do, where would you go, who would you confess your love to, who would you want to see the most?"  Stuff like that.
And even after seeing that, I still didn't have my answer.  I always assumed that if a time like that ever came, where I was going to die by some accident or mishap (in other words not just from old age), I would be in complete panic, and wouldn't be able to do anything but fear for my life.

But last night I had a dream.  A dream that I was on a boat, a submarine or something, with a few select people that I've known over the years and even some that were made up for the sake of the dream.  And whatever I was on, was sinking, flooding with water fast.  They were shutting off areas one by one, and I thought life boats would come for us or something.  But just when the vessel was close to flooding completely, an announcement on the PA came on, and basically said that we only had about 5 minutes to live.  We were surrounded, it said.

And just like that, I got my answer.  I actually wasn't panicked at all, and I knew what I had to do, in my last few minutes of life.  And I know it was just a dream, but there is no doubt in my mind that if something like that did actually happen, that I wouldn't do the same thing.  I know I would definitely do the same thing, no matter the situation.  I just know it.

I won't tell you what I did, that's between me and my own heart.  But I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  And my question for you, my dear internet lovers, is what would you do if you only had 5 minutes to live, or one day, or a week, or even a month?  What would you do?

You don't have to tell me.  Just think about it to yourself.  I think it's an important thing to know, because you never know when you might need the answer.

And with that, I take my leave.  -bows-
