Busy with making your living? Then, stop and check the followings.
What if you're given only 24 hours to death? This controversial comic book describes the society where the government picks one out of 1,000 people to death at random. Such death sentence is legalized to educate people to respect the value of life. Sounds horrible, isn't it? But, as reading "イキガミ" ("ikigami", the sub-title is "the Ultimate Limit"), you'll see a different aspect. I think we're just too stupid to realize the truth: "life is short."
What is the most precious memory in your life? What if you can take only one memory for the afterlife? If you're not sure, watch "Wonderful Life" (or "After Life" in English) (1998). Sorry, I wanna explain the movie more, but I barely remember the story since I watched it a long time ago. Still, it's a good movie!
If the above two seems too serious, then laugh and cry by reading "椿山課長の7日間" ("Mr. Tsubakiyama's 7 days") by Jiro Asada. This is one of the best books I read last year. The novel became a movie last year as well. I haven't watched yet, though.
7 days mean a grace period after the death. If you have a good excuse, you can go back to this world. But, given the body of somebody else, you're identification is kept confidential. Given 7 days, you might be able to wrap up your life.
Unless 24 hours or 7 days is enough, live hard happily not to regret.

「椿山課長の7日間」は映画でも見たけど、本より明るかった。後半はちょびっと泣いたりして面白かった。
突然日本語で恐縮(><;ですが、ヒョンのこのブログ、とってもプロフェッショナルですね。
英語的には僕よくわからないんですけど、書き方が雑誌や新聞の記事を読んでるみたいで引込まれます。
英語の勉強にも役立てさせていただいてますよ。
