The term 'YOLO' has merit
The term 'YOLO' has merit
Within reason and calculated risk, of course, but it's best not to let life pass you by.
Dumb sounding term, no question, and often used in jest, but I've come to accept it.
So, remember kids, YOLO.
You're viewing a single thread.
I feel like the term is used in the wrong situations though. Often when it deals with actual risk to your life.
It should be used in situations like telling your crush how you really feel or moving to a new country.
Not when jumping off the bridge into unknown water.
Because you only have one life. Take care of it.
Even though you are right, misusing the term in situations where your one life is either in danger, or where you make extremely dumb decisions even though you know better... is the joke and makes the term so charming for me.
For me it basically translates into : "I am about to do this dumb thing which I already know is dumb, but living my life to the fullest leads me right here"
Yes, agree. Never YOLO into l’appel du vide.
