I suppose that's where me and you differ.
I live in the moment. I see no point in going out of my way to plan for more than 5-10 years ahead when there is no guarantee I'll be alive that long. I'm motivated by pure pleasure and instant gratification. I even made my own algorithm of sorts to calculate pleasure vs pain and I won't even waste my time on anything unless the "negative" or potential for "pain" is vastly lower than the pleasure I stand to gain off that specific task.
Yes, it would be awesome to live a long, happy life. No, I don't wish to die, neither now, nor ever. At the time, however, if I die I die nothing can be done other than enjoying the time I have to it's fullest. You can't enjoy the present if you're worried about the future.
