Well that's because you're looking at it wrong. I look at life as if I'm collecting moments in time; some of those moments I collected were moments involving NES n00b. Those moments are like my lungs; you can't take them away from me. They are mine forever. Unlike my lungs though, I can share them (without dying!).
One thing I always look at everyday is a small piece of a pair of shorts I have that ripped off that I keep to remind me that life isn't guaranteed. I got that piece of a pants when I almost died of a seizure dang near 10 years ago, in which I flat out fell unconscious, cut my head open, and I surprisingly lived (and I never had a seizure again).
I actually have quite a few things like that, such as a ring my grandfather always wore (he asked me to take it, and I removed it from his finger the second he died), the blanket my grandmother gave me because I was cold a few hours before she died, the glove I used to keep my cat when it was a kitten warm to stay alive after his mother tragically died (dang if that cat isn't the best cat ever, and that was a sweet reward), and the NES my other grandfather gave me the day he died.
Stuff like that means more to me than a freaking car, house, or the physical item, because of what it all represents to me, and all the things, people, and memories I have been able to obtain in my lifetime; and heck, I got a long ways to go, including FURTHER DEFENDING MY RIDLEY SMASH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!
Life isn't a guarantee for more; it's a guarantee for what you have, and will always have, and nothing more. All you are guaranteed is the past and what you have now, which is why it is called "the present."
Edit: And before y'all start calling me a great speaker, I was a psych major, which means I'm a master at manipluation... WITH TRUTHS!!!
