If you just found out you had <1min to live, what would your greatest regret be?

I would regret not having more than a minute to celebrate that i'm leaving this hell. Everyone is talking about things in the past and forgetting that none of that really matters.. why spend your last minute in pain thinking of what could have been or who you leave behind?

Spend that minute in joyful anticipation of the greatest adventure you will ever undertake, safe in the knowledge that you did all you needed to on stage and that it was a good performance. We all make mistakes in human terms, but at the end of the day none of it matters.. not even the "good" you do matters either.

ps If you end up backstage before me, get the etheric champagne ready ^_^

What would the screenplay be about? Don't bullshit me now. I want to know.

It would be about a Messiah who would rebuke all the religious hypocrites (such as they existed in jesus's time & ours), tell the truth about how evil U$A government is (cia killed jfk, Peak Oil, geometric world population growth, global warming, etc.) and would advocate eliminating money (upset the tables of the moneychangers on Wall $treet). This would require an all-star cast of famous ppl (scientists too) as disciples. It would also be autobiographical. My older sister is encouraging me to write it.

I'm with U there!
 
That's funny because I'm currently trying to adapt Dante's Inferno into the modern age and had similar ideas, only I can't see myself settling on any utopian ideals because I'm too cynical for everything. Who among us could recognize the Messiah? What if the Messiah can't make people laugh in little lines of text over the internet and he gets buried in the detritus of our technological age? I also have other cockamamie ideas. I think the little synopsis in your head deserve a chance to be watered and nurtured so it can grow into something beautiful.
 
thx, coffedrinker, i never read Dante's Inferno but do know the sign posted at the gate to Hell was something like: "Give up hope all ye who enter here." (Such a sign should be posted in front of court-houses.) Losing hope certainly is Hell. U'r certainly right about "who among us could recognize the Messiah." That's the exact thing that happened to jesus: the religious hypocrites thought he was demon-possessed. No doubt the "Christians" would call a Messiah "anti-christ" a "communist" or "demagogue".
 
So far I have not had any regrets that I have not fulfilled. BUT; I have pursuits that I am always working on.

And I'm an old fucker.
 
That I never felt like I actually lived
That I never published a book

But most of all, that it couldn't have waited another three weeks before a long session with ibogaine that might have helped me fix those things.
 
i would regret that i have yet to complete any of my large art/software projects, so i wouldn't be able to help humanity after my death.

then i would do a whip it (only one minute, works out perfectly) and realize that everything i've ever wanted to say or portray, is already in art, and all of us, anyway.

so then i'd relax and enjoy the ride, and hope that it's a beginning not just an end. because i hate entropy sometimes.

I would regret the many times I chose fear and hesitation over experience and initiative.

There were a couple of things I wanted to say, but both of them fall under that. Couldn't have worded it better myself. I would regret not having just gone for the things I want, instead of deciding based on fear.
