45

I was wondering, say Death were to come to you and say this: " You are going to die. You will die exactly 45 years from now. You will die poor and alone. What you do up until death will have no effect on this. You will have a happy and fulfilling life for the next 44 and one half years. Goodbye"
How would you take it? Would the knowledge that you would live a great life outweigh the knowledge of both the time of your death and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding it?
I guess what I'm getting at is, knowing that something is doomed to failure, could you still find satisfaction in the process of doing it? Were your life doomed to eventual failure, could you enjoy the intervening years?

Workspace

Just a clarification, This is not my Blog.
This is a workspace for me to draft new work.
My hope is that by starting with a rough draft I can improve the clarity of my thoughts.
So, again, this is not my blog, you can find that at: randommusingsfromatroubledmind.blogspot.com
