Cormac McCarthyEvery day is a lie. But you are dying. That is not a lie.
About This Quote
When we are born, we are given a lifetime to be complete. We can become anything we want and do anything we want and yet, we still feel that we will never be complete. We may accomplish our goals and be happy but still feel as if we are missing something. And it is not long before we know what it is.
Our life is now coming to an end and the days will seem to stretch on endlessly as we move through our last few hours of life. Every single day gives us another chance to make things right and every single day is a lie because the day we live is not the one that matters – it is the one just before. It may be true that you do not have much time left but every day you live must be a good and happy one and that is what you must strive for each and every second of your life.
