Things you would regret not doing before you die? (addict, people, everything)

[Javier77]

I won´t leave this Earth before:




1- I graduate in psychology.

2- I become famous due to some groundbreaking invention in the social sciences field and win the Nobel Award in economy (or literature) , inventing something that looks easy from the outside but has a lot of practical and important applications, like the Nash Equilibrilum, or Kahennans work on cognitive bias, etc. This invention brings peace and prosperity to the world.

3- I indulge myself at least for a couple of months in living like a decadent rock/porn star....you know, 24/7 orgies in Malibu with supermodels and actresses. (I mean, after the hard work, just relax a little bit and enjoy some wordly pleasures)



Those are my main musts before I die. What about you?

I have not died yet and the way I see it if you live every day as fully as you can then when you die you should have nothing to regret. Degrees/credentials, notoriety, toys, materiel goods, traveling none of that matters. Not that you can't enjoy them but they just don't matter. What matters is, did you try to live each and every day fully in the moment and the very best that you could. Have you lived your life so that if you were to die right now you would be satisfied with how you used what you were given?

Thanks Lizzy. I got many other small ones, but those 3 are the important ones.


Of course there's a lot of sexual stuff....but I'd like to do it all in those couple of months, so I can forget about it and move on, I wouldn´t like to become a sex addict like Michael Douglas, just have a sample of that type of life., like "been there, done that, bought the t-shirt"

Another one is going around dressed up in eccentric suits....for example dressed like a mafia cappo with hat and everything, and hire some guys also dressed as hitmen pretending to be my bodyguards and go out to restaurants and clubs and cause an impression. (mariachi, cowboy, etc also on the list)


Another one is showing up at morning at the airport, pick up some exotic random city, let's say Windhoek, Namibia, go there, rent a car as soon I step off the plane...music out loud, smoking a marihuana joint, everybody staring at me like "wtf, who is this guy?", ride around all day long, speeding like a ghost down the city streets absorbing everything, every detail, every picture , then go back to the airport, take a plane and be home for dinner.


And of course some revenge stuff, basically causing an outrageously high amount of pain to certain people who crossed me in the past. (and what the hell, a few others who were asking for it)


But that stuff is a little bit like "I'd like to do this, but wont be a problem if doesn´t happen", we can´t have it all.


what about you?

I do like divine retribution......so I'm right there with you on that one!
