Absolutely. Brushes with and actually facing death force people to see their life more purely, more actively and honestly. Why turn down that chance to live your life exactly as you’ve always known you wanted to because you can’t see it any other way? We all know this concept in our minds, but few, if any of us, actually live this way. When that time comes, a lot of us will have regrets for not living life more fully.
