Because I think that's actually the most satisfying life for us to live, personally, to feel that we are really making a difference somehow and we are not living just for ourselves.

我个人认为,最完满的生活，是那种，你能够感受到真正发挥了作用的生活,而不是完全地为自己而活。

It's as though we live life for a while, getting a feel for all the wonderful things life could offer us, and then a moment later, as it were, it's snatched away from us.

似乎我们活了一会，感受到了生命能提供给我们的所有美好的事物，然后片刻之后，又好像，被从我们身边夺走。

Well, if it really was true then that if only we faced the facts about our mortality that we would live life rather differently, ? how could it be reasonable for us to disregard those facts?

如果这真的是真的,那么只要我们面对我们必有一死的事实,我们就会选择不同的生活，无视这些事实又怎么可能是合理的？
