I’m going through the Waking Up course from Sam Harris for the first time and today (day 9) there was a message about “the last time”.
After each meditation Sam Harris adds an extra topic that you can listen separately, and today’s topic was around last time.
When is the last time you’ll do something?
At first this seems obvious: When I’ll die.
But that is not the truth. He made the perfect example of why life is unexpected and unpredictable.
In his example he shared that it’s been almost 10 years since he didn’t went skiing. Will he ski again? Maybe, but 10 years ago, when he went to ski, he wasn’t aware that that would’ve been a possible “last time” for that action.
We’re surrounded by things we won’t see again. People, stories, small actions from our children and friends.
Life will take us to unknown places and we won’t know when it’s our last time for something.
Come on, give me the chills
