What's Y. O. L. O means for u?

[Anonymous]

So many people say this: 'You only live once, so enjoy it as much as you can, don’t think too much, just do whatever makes you feel good.

But honestly, have you ever thought about it differently? 🤔

If we really only live once, shouldn’t that mean something else entirely?

Shouldn’t it mean we shouldn’t just chase pleasure or instant fun but instead, make every single moment meaningful, valuable, and worth remembering?

Because here is the biggest irony of today’s world:

Everyone loves saying 'Life is short' and 'You only live once' yet most people use that as an excuse to waste time, to be reckless, to do things that have no real worth, to hurt others, or to live shallow, empty lives.

We say life is precious and rare but we actually treat it like it’s endless, or like it’s something cheap to just throw away on meaningless things.

We claim we value time yet we spend most of it on noise, drama, temporary fun, and things that add absolutely no value to us or anyone else.

Think about it:

>>Time never flows backward.
>>Not a single second can ever be turned back or repeated.
>>Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

So really, if you truly believe life only happens once why would you spend it on anything less than something beautiful, meaningful, and truly valuable?

Is just 'enjoying' enough or should we aim for something deeper?

I didn't have a clue what it meant until I looked it up.

It didn't mean anything to me.

A female I'm friendly with sends me texts with acronyms, and I don't understand what she is texting about most of the time.

The same when people talk in acronyms, and I wonder what they are talking about.

Am I the only person that wants it in plain English?

Anyway I looked it up, and it now means to me you only live once.

Funnily enough I give that opinion today to someone on GAG's today, and I agree with the phrase, and I try to make the most of my opportunity.

But apparently cats have nine lives so they would disagree with you lol.

When I was a youngster I was was told the future for humans would be endless leisure time.
That hasn't happened yet, though AI and robots are gradually taking over the world, but I'm sure this then will create more jobs for us humans.

But at present we work to make our lives easier, and to pay for enjoying ourselves in vacations, if not, why should anyone work, and we would go back to the stone age.

I do eat as many honey butter biscuits as I can... but without shortening my chances of living a bit longer

so... balance

Life is short, and sadly time only goes by faster the older you become. You only get one chance at this existence, so don't blow it.

Always be open to trying anything no matter how dangerous or risky.

You'll die if you see a doctor, and you'll die if you don't.

you only live once so don't do things that end it early cause it's your only try.
