There's a Buddhist parable about a man holding onto a branch and reaching for a fruit. The branch is going to snap and there are tigers down below. Certain death is inevitable. His goal is to get the fruit and enjoy it while he can.

A therapist told this to me and said it applies to us all. So thinking of living for many years seems silly. If you can find enjoyment and have found it, then you've already won.
