Dukat's hit the nail on the head.
Reminds me of something Gandalf said in LOTR: "All we can do is to make the best use of the time that's given to us".
One in three people will get cancer at some time in their life.
Lets bring that home. Not including siblings, if both your parents are still alive, then either you, your mom, or your dad is going to get cancer.
Not a pleasant thought.
You could go home tonight, or get a phone call while you are at work. Terrible news. X has been killed in a car accident. Y's results indicate terminal cancer.
Could be anyone of us.
OK, so forget cancer for the minute. Just imagine the day your mom / dad dies. Its comes to all of us. It is going to impact your life in ways you can't fathom.
You'll wish you could have spent just 5 minutes more with them rather than doing whatever.
For me, I am spending a great deal of time with my mom and dad. And my family. For me thats making the best use of the time thats been given to me.
If other people's priorities are sitting in front of DAOC smoking dope and having fantasies about having sex and killing people, well...thats up to them.
