Virtually no one wants to live forever if you ask them. But virtually no one wants to die today. And what's 1 year if not just 365 todays?

People are perfectly fine doing rather self-destructive things now as long as even certain damage is far enough in the future.

"I'm a good person. I can live just a little longer to help others." someone says this month, next month, and until they're not quite so good starting to feel they deserve to live longer.
"Look at how much good I still do. Aren't I still kinder than most people?"
