About this Quote

This quote by Eric Bogosian speaks with the idea that our mortality shapes our choices and actions. If we understood we were going to live to be 150 years of ages, we would likely take more risks and be more willing to pursue our dreams. We would be less concerned with the short-term effects of our choices and more concentrated on the long-lasting impact. We would be most likely to purchase our education, health, and relationships, knowing that we have a long life ahead of us. We would also be most likely to take threats in our careers, knowing that we have plenty of time to recover from any errors. Ultimately, this quote suggests that our mortality is a powerful incentive which if we understood we had a longer life ahead of us, we would approach our lives differently.
