Thanks for the insight. Most of us interpreted the comic in a more negative light (pun intended).

I completely agree with you. There is a book written by a nursing home carer where she collected the advise and words of wisdom from the elders. Pretty much all of them regret not doing many things while they were younger and more able. In hindsight, they realised that the things they have not done are completely innocent and should not have let fear of being judged or fear of the unfamiliar get to them.

So yes, better to have lived a full life even it's short, than to live old full of regret! So long as you and others are not harmed!
