How Would You Live Today?

Until this moment, the sentence in a song sung at the NTU chorus concert the day before yesterday  has been lingering in my mind:

"如果明天就是下一生     你將如何度過今天" 

"If tomorrow were next life, how would you live today?"

Often we are asked how we would spend our last day.   However, I prefer the sentence in the song, because it seems more hopeful, leaving us more room so that even if we felt some regret for this life, we could still make up for it in our next life.   Then we would spend the last day of this life more leisurely. 

The song is entitled 如果明天就是下一生 (If Tomorrow Were Next Life).  The lyrics were written by Mei-huei Chang (張惠美), with the melody composed by Ching-ju Shih (石青如).
