While you can

One of those scenarios in which you're asked what advice you'd give to a young person just starting out. Today I'd say, "Young Person, your future will feature no shortage of heartache, heartbreak, hardship, sickness, struggle, loss, grief, and untold other varieties of tragedy. And it all ends with your death. So here's the thing you need to learn to recognize. Learn to recognize when you're not suffering these conditions and seize the fleeting opportunity to celebrate that fact fully. Live as well as you can while you can. Don't manufacture unnecessary suffering." That's what I'd say.  Just chill, maybe.
