Some of you might have read the news about the preacher predicting the end of the world for tomorrow. Although I do not believe about this nonsense, this has prompted me into thinking.
What if the world ends tomorrow?
The question is quite ambiguous, and would be quite hard to answer without further clarification, so I shall change the question.
What if you know the world ends tomorrow? What are you going to do today?
I have a simple answer to this question. Of course, I will spend time with my family and friends! They are the ones who have supported my life all the way, and it is only appropriate that I spend the last hours of my life with them. Additionally, I would love to die playing my piano! I want to spend my last minutes enjoying, not suffering. However, suppose I would like to challenge myself a bit, and ask myself the following question:
What if you know the world ends tomorrow, and you can only choose between your friends and family? Who would you choose?
I can't live without my family! They brought me up to be who I am now! My mother gave life to me, taught me Chinese, taught me exam skills. She thought me algebra in P3, which helped me do the last question for that years' End of Year exam. I owe her too much. But I can't live without my friends! We had fun together, shared experiences, I can't just throw them away! So who should I choose. Halfway through considering this question, I realised something. Who cares about who I choose? The world is ending tomorrow anyway, so why don't I just spend my time doing what I like: piano? Say my last words to them, and spend my last hours doing what I like, and doing what I do best.
Yes, that is what I would do with if the world ends tomorrow.
Now I ask you: What if the world ends tomorrow? Feel free to comment below!
