Yes, I do. Too many people put so much emphasis on death and not enough on life. We often take life for granted and that's why I love that quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off....
"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Live as if your life depended on it.
Go Sarma!

Thich Nhat Hanh stated: "We fear that, when we die, we will become nothing" and I feel that it is out of this fear that many people have taken great lengths (including creating myths) to prepare for what takes place after death.
However, if death is viewed not as a termination but as a change (and this is possible even for atheists) then one does not have to spend their time preparing for what happens afterwards. They may spend their time building up their lives until the time of the change.

Agree, I seen a small group of people do a lot so I agree with this quote.

It's a rather interesting quote. I can't say that I agree/don't agree with it, though. I'm officially on the fence with this quote.

Exactly. You are here to determine and experience to live to the fullest of what you are, and what you should be. And discover your purpose in this life.

i so agree with that, the focus of life should be on living it, that is what we are here for, though its natural to think about what will happen when we leave this life, just like if you have a job, you may not plan on retiring from it for years, yet the thoughts of what will happen, how you can plan for it, still enter your mind
