I'm very sorry to hear of your situation, and agree that we should all strive to enjoy our lives to the best of our ability, since none of us are promised tomorrow, let alone next year or decade.
Having said that, where I disagree with you has to do with your assessment of how I spend my time.
You're presumably making the faulty assumption that writing these articles (and doing the research required) is something I suffer through that isn't worth the paltry return. On the contrary, I do it as an enjoyable side activity.
