Last day (3)

If I know I will still live for decades more, I would want to secure more financial reserve and to do more things. For myself and also for those I love.

But if I know today is my last day, I would not worry so much about money or material possessions. They are not so important as other matters.

This is the paradox. When I do not know when my last day will be - possibly still years away - I worry about financial or material matters that I will not worry when it is my last day.

So does it make sense to worry about them if, in the last day, they are not so important anyway?
