题目内容
12.All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours,but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.Such stories set up thinking,wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What happiness should we find in reviewing the past,what regrets?
Sometimes,I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.We should live each day with a gentleness,a vigor,and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.
Most of us take life for granted.We know that one day we must die,but usually we picture that day as far in the future,when we are in pleasant health,death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.The days stretch out in an endless prospect.So we go about our little task,hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
The same attitude,I am afraid,falls on the use of our abilities and senses.Only the deaf appreciate hearing,only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight.Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life.But those who have never suffered loss of sight and hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities.Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily,without concentration,and with little appreciation.Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill.It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing.
