For some reason, this amazingly stupid sentiment seems to be prevalent among Gyno-Americans whereas I have never encountered it among us Penile-Americans..the slogan: “live every day like its your last” or sometimes phrased as “live today like theres no tomorrow”, or some other similar phrasing.
Dude, I’m a survivalist. My whole existence as a survivalist is predicated on being prepared for tomorrow. Additionally, if people really lived their lives like there was no tomorrow we’d be living in ‘The Purge‘. With an absolute absence of long-term consequence (‘long term’ being no more than 25 hours from when you commit your act of non-tomorrowness) you know what you get? People settling old scores, killing people they dislike, shotgunning their annoying neighbors, looting everything in sight, and generally going completely off the chain. Thats what a world full of people who live like there’s no tomorrow looks like. Oh, sure..there will be some folks who will spend those last 24 hours with love ones, or conversing with their deity of choice, or simply committing suicide (kinda of like quitting before you get fired)… but by and large, you tell a couple billion humans that in 24 hours they will all be extinct you can bet there’s going to be some Olympic-level savagery taking place.
And, really, if you think about it, anyone who says they live like there’s no tomorrow is, most likely, just spouting pithy sayings. If they really believed that they’d have no qualms forking over the keys to their car, quitting their job, or doing any one of a host of things people who really aren’t going to see the sun rise would do.
Heck, think about it even more and you realize that someone who lives like theres no tomorrow is living a life devoid of the notion of consequence. Who wants to share a planet with a socipath like that? Expecially when they dress their insanity in the garb of some sort of noble enlightenment. Sure, maybe the Dali Lama says he lives like theres no tomorrow but I’ll bet you a hundred bucks he buys his toilet paper in a 12-roll pack.
What this world really needs is more people who live like there is a tomorrow. They plan, develop careers, establish long-term relationships with other people, invest, and engage in long-term goals and projects.
I have got to stop looking at the bumper stickers on the cars in front of me in traffic… its a recipe for aggravation.

It is not just the penile-deficient who think like this, it is a very Democratic worldview!
People who live as if “there is no tomorrow” don’t deserve one….
Did the car have a coexist sticker too?
Fun fact, no he doesn’t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shit_stick
I never could wrap myself around that one either. I guessing those people have a sugar daddy and don’t have worry about paying the bills.

… Dude, you love in Missoula. You shouldn’t even leave your house.
Females don’t “live like there is no tomorrow”, at least in certain aspects. It might be opportunistic rather than premeditated, but I doubt it. They know exactly how they are going to cash out of a relationship before they start it. Don’t buy their propaganda. Hey, I’m on my fifth marriage. I gotta know what I’m talking about, right? 🙂
Slow learner or a fool, hahaha!!!!
He’s a romantic!
Thanks-good save! 🙂
If that’s what you want to call it!!! haha
James:
Perhaps it says more about you than them!
After all you are the only thing connecting them…
I get that a lot. But I’m also close to perfect, other than my inability to see through a long con backed by a nice rack, so your theory is clearly flawed.
bumper sticker: live today like there is no tomorrow…..as the driver is sitting traffic. here’s your sign.
“…live like theres no tomorrow…..”
Translation: “I’m a failure so let’s end this thing.”
Tim:
Are you expecting HONESTY from such people?
Epic post.
In the physical realm that saying is definitely stupid but if you apply to the spiritual realm(which they don’t) then it makes sense…If today is your last day and you have to stand before your maker tonight then how do you want to live it…JMHO

The “no consequences” / “YOLO” sorts spout that nonsense because they have never had to truly deal with the consequences of hasty and stupid decisions.
And when consequences finally bite? Probably hear some further stupidity about “karma.”
It’s a handy flag for identifying people who aren’t worth wasting any time on.
