Article about living life to the full Carpe diem. This phrase was created by the roman poet Horace, but this idea has been ir our minds since the human kind gained counciousness of volatility of life. Even so, we have to be constantly reminded of that we don’t want regrets in our very last moment (if only I had done…) by elocuent phrases hanging on walls. What’s the reason for that? In my opinion, living to the full goes beyond living as if you were Indiana Jones, adventure after adventure (that could be dangerous too). I think it means something completely different: firstly, living up to your own expectations, and secondly, having small but constant rewards of happiness, which is more important that occasional and temporal rushes. Some people say we have to live as if we were going to die the next day, but, what if you don’t die the next day? That’s the key reason for many people not living life to the full: we want to continue living, we have to (and want to) prepare the future. We have responsabilities, so giving up our jobs for having a good time isn’t a realistic option. In addition (and paradoxically) to what I said in my fisrt paragraph, we tend to forget about our own death, consequently, we forget about making the most of our time here. In conclusion, filling your life little by little is the best way of fullfilling it completely. This will be your moto from now on. Carpe diem.
