Day 26: Stranger Than Fiction

Is your life stranger than fiction? What would you do if you found out you were going to die soon? Is there any unfinished business that you would want to clear up before you die?

My friends came over for dinner and a movie tonight. We watched Stranger Than Fiction (http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/strangerthanfiction/). It's about a guy who is a character in a book. He finds out he's going to die at the end of the book. He tries to stop it from happening.

It really made me think about my life. Is it pre-written or pre-determined? If it is, do I want to know the outcome? I know I will eventually die. Do I really want to know how or when? Between now and when I die what have I done? Have I lived a happy life? If I find out when and where I die, will I prevent it from happening or let it happen?

I read that there is a library of everyone's life. My book of life could be written for me. I don't want to know the ending. If I read my book of life, then my life will not be worth living anymore. My life is all about experiences. It can be good ones or bad ones. It is about meeting people and how they influence my life. Everyone comes into my life for a reason. Even if they have given me one piece of advice, they have influenced and shaped my life.
