Carpe Diem

“Carpe Diem” “live life to the fullest” how annoying are both of these sayings. How are you supposed to have a career, a family, an education, if you’re always carpe-ing the Diem or living to the fullest? If you’re living every moment to the absolute fullest, there would be no time to sit through boring lectures or make plans for life. You’d simply be too busy living in the now, whatever that means. It is important to live life, but that doesn’t mean fill every single moment with spontaneous and exciting and risky things. It means choosing, between seizing the day, or getting done what really needs to get done. What you choose doesn’t make life more or less full, it’s the fact that you have to choose that makes you truly alive.
