If I only had six months to live, I would first make a plan for these months. I would meet with all my friends and acquaintance and tell them my situation. Although I do not want them to worry about me, I think I have the obligation to tell them the truth. Otherwise it will be unfair for them. Next, I would spend probably a month traveling around the world on my own. I want to cherish the last moments that I could have with myself. I would love to visit places I have never been to, such as Greece, Fiji, and the South Pole. I want to know more about different countries and cultures before I die. I would try out new things that I have not done before, like sky diving. I hope to enrich my life experiences as much as possible. After the journey, I would donate half of my possessions to UNICEF and leave the other half to my family. I want to make an effort for children who are in need around the world. Yet I think I owe too much to my family. My family have offered me so much in my life that I might never be able to give back to them. I hope I could alleviate their sorrow before I die. So I would spend the last two months with my family. We would not do anything special, but just enjoy the everyday life as a family. We would watch TV, cook dinner, go to the park, and etc. So I wish the time before I die would be joyful and meaningful.
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school…it is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically. – Henry David Thoreau
Wow sylan, I really appreciate that you want to donate your possessions to UNICEF helping more children even you leave the world. It's a really generous action! Also I like how you are planing to spend the last two months with your family. It would make our parents feel better afterward if we had take time to enjoy more life moment with them.
