The deathbed fallacy

https://medium.com/@rikardhjort/the-deathbed-fallacy-5e54d9639167

People like to say that if they don't do this or this or this, they will regret something when they die.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Reason 1: It is not a representative state

Reason 2: You don’t know your past selves, but you think you do.

Reason 3: Most people that die today lived in a world very different to yours.


Reason 4: Regrets do not matter for people with no future, and who know that they have no future. With only past and present, there is no regret, only reflection. 

I like people who tell it like it is.

Summary:

All personal decisions related to values, beliefs, habits, behaviours are fundamentally driven by emotions and there is always a tipping point at which emotions lead to a change in oneself.
