Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
-Steve Jobs
Why does fear motivate humanity to continue to make the wrong choices? Is there such a thing as “wrong choices” when every choice is part of the experience? If we live a life of experiences, should we be concerned with the “important things in life”? After all meaning is meaningless.
