For some people they would screw other people over on their last day and then when they lived it would be oh no what have I done. Maybe it being their last day would be self-fulfilling prophecy.
If everyone lived every day as though it was their last, toilets would never be cleaned. Garbage would never be picked up. No one would ever go to work. Soon, everyone would be starving and it WOULD be their last day on Earth.
This got me to thinking. If this were my last day: I’d give away my excess money; make phone calls I’ve been putting off; go out and grab the first homeless family with kids and give them my house; I’d spend the day taking them through my house and showing them all the neat stuff; and, oh, yes, I’d clean up the house before giving it away. And, we’d settle down that evening, the new family and I, watch PBS Newshour, watch my favorite movie, have a great meal, and give them the keys to the house and my vehicles. What a great day!
This was used in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, delivered by Lucy, at the end of “My New Philosophy”, sung by Sally, voiced by Kristin Chenowith. If any of you haven’t heard that, it’s on Amazon Music. A treasure.

Actually, you have fewer than 24 hours left, Lucy. Remember, you’ve already used up some of your day.

I think Lucy needs psychiatric help… help that costs more than five cents.

Let her wander off. But she is sure no voice in the wilderness.

You could spend your entire retirement account on things that would make you sick 2 days from now.

I hate to say this but say this I must…I’ll bet that the “Peanuts” gang would LOVE for it to be your last 24 hours, Lucy! :/

We’re not there yet, but pretty close I think. Not unless they find a vaccine.

This sounds more like a typical Sally reaction than a Lucy reaction

An interesting way to mess with her mind, Charlie Brown!

Some people only hear what they want to hear.
It’s like the very old joke:
Mary: Communists believe that no woman should have diamond earrings unless all women have diamond earrings."
Joan: “I want to be a communist because they believe all women have diamond earrings.”

That’s the reaction I’ve always had when someone says that to me. Should I sell my 401k?

I’ve thought similarly about “live life to the fullest” . Difficult to do when you have to spend most of it at some job you really don’t like.

If this were the last day of your life, my friend
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you
Make the most of all you still have coming to you
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

You’re looking at it all wrong, Charlie Brown. You managed to not only get rid of Lucy, but to make her feel as bad as she always makes you feel.

The local college’s rendition of “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown” really rocked this scene. It was the funniest and most memorable in the musical.
