I'm 40..I don`t really have an issue with the YOLO thing overall. However you say it, it IS true. (unless you believe in reincarnation) It doesn`t make you smarter to say `carpe diem`. It`s a decent philosophy, one that I do agree with, but not an excuse to be an idiot. It can be an incentive to try something new or put things in perspective (ie: do laundry or write a poem or go visit grandma..what is more important if you only live once) Basically I look at it as "have no regrets" however you wish to abbreviate it or say it. Or you could always say it the way Bon Jovi says it (if you dare)"I`m gonna live while I`m alive, I`ll sleep when I`m dead" (I DID say that I was 40 ..80`s hairbands are my thing!)

in due time, there will be lessons on the great YOLO epidemic, which killed off a great number of the populace, but had the silver lining of teaching future generations that yes, you only live once, and the dumb ones found this out too late
