Considering the majority of the posts in this thread are awful (not surprised), I'll just get to my morbid example. Walk with me.
You have a relative. The relative tells you he only has a year to live. Nothing he can do about it. You've accepted that as his fate. What do you do?
A: spend as much as time as you can with that relative, do the things he wanted to do that he didn't get a chance to do, just be there til he croaks, or...
B: shoot him in the head first chance you get after he breaks the news.
Just answer A or B. There is a point to this example.
