I'm not saying live a crazy dangerous life...I'm saying why not eat what you want to eat even if it is not so great for you? Take a few chances that are within reason. So Diet Coke might be bad for you...at least you can say you can drink what you want. People die every day who are health fanatics for tons of reasons. Not worry about money so much and worry about enjoying life.

You are right. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

You can do what you want. No one stops you, You must then take responsibility for what you do. But I am not sure the saying is what you believe it to be. You only live once, means you have only one chance in this world to do the very best that you can do with the life that has been given you, and with free will up are in the drivers sit. So use this precious life to the very best that you can possibly aspire too. If drinking a diet coke is the highest concept of "only living once and doing something with this only once life" then baby have at it. Other wise think about eternity and what you really want to get out of the life to take into the forever.

There are certain responsibilities that an individual has to one's society. Eat what you want, yeah sure, but becoming obese creates a strain on your family, the health care system etc. Don't worry about money within reason, don't accumulate thousands upon thousands of dollars of debt and check out leaving other people w/ the bill via high interest rates.
Way i see it, you should always leave more then what you came in to. If everyone lived a selfish live of luxury and excitement who would be around to clean up the mess when the parachute didn't deploy =)

It's a matter of getting the most out of life. I fine balance between max'n pleasure (happiness) & max'n how long you can live. Drinking what you want may kill you (or fatten you up) in a short time and make life agony.

The happiest way is not always the right way. Your body only lives once but your soul lives on.

Nobody can regularly forbid as you do as you wish if you respect the society's rules for humans behavior. That's why enjoy your time.
