    I like your latest idea.? Suggest that if the lesson learned in Act 3 is to live in the present, then perhaps his contrasting problem in Act 1 might be that that he’s always living for the future, striving for his Big Dream.? And he could be quite happy doing so because he’s making steady progress toward his Biggest Dream.? Only needs 3-4 years to reach it. (Although to accomplish that Big Dream he’s postponing other things that turn out to be more important. like a loving relationship. marriage, a family,)

    And then he discovers he’s only got one year to live.? Which is a bummer in itself but it also means he’ll die without accomplishing his Big Dream. So what must he do?

    IOW:? if his objective goal is figure out a way not to die in one year, well, IMHO it’s better for the objective goal to not to be defined the word not. It should not be framed as a negative. So if he must not die in one year it’s so he can achieve something positive.? Which is…?

    fwiw

    Thank you all for pointing out the sexist aspect of this premise. I admit I was blind to it and very frivolous about the whole idea.I see that making a prostitute have unprotected sex to spread the lice remedy is a perverse idea.

    I see that making a prostitute have unprotected sex to spread the lice remedy is a perverse idea. The clich? of her characterisation only makes things worse. So does filing the story under “comedy.”

    Thank you all, again.
