Last Rights

We all have the right to live and die with dignity and authenticity. Each day we increase or decrease the distance between now and no more. "One more day closer to death?" This is not inevitable. What I do today may bring me two days closer to death or it might push it one day further away. Fate is in the now, not the distant tomorrow. How I live today affects how many days I have left to live.
