If I Had an Hour to Live…

If you only had one hour left to live, what would you do with your time?

I might fear the process of death or the unfinished tasks and responsibilities I would leave behind,  but I don’t fear death itself.  I have long accepted the reality that I would not live long.  Since I’m not strong, I know I’ll soon be wiped out by natural selection, so I’m prepared to face it.

If I had only an hour to prepare for death, it would be difficult to tie up all the loose ends since I have so many.  I would probably contact my family and friends by phone and e-mail, and make sure I say nice things.  Then I would write my death will and statement of responsibility, which will inform everyone that my death is nobody’s fault.  I would also clearly list out the passwords to my e-mail and online journal acounts and place them along with my address book and offline diaries in locations where they will be easily found.  That way, it will help people know where I left off, so they can start finishing what I couldn’t.  I just hope a situation like this will never happen, because I need much time to finish everything, make sure everyone will be all right and not thinking badly of me, and that I have been a great benefit to the world.
