Really an awesome piece of writing by the author Paulo Coelho. He gives us the real meaning of life through the example character of Veronica. Veronica thinks life is useless therefore she tries to commit suicide, but to her misfortune she doesn't die and wake io again to hear the news that she is going to die in 7 days.
Noe just imagine the taste of living life when you actually know when is your death day. Veronica was horrified as anyone would be. Now she wanted to live as she saw many reasons to live too but now she was dying. So the fear of death made her do things that she never ever dared to do like masturbating in front of a mad man who doesn't even gives a single response. She becomes careless and tries to live every single minute of live.
She plays the piano , she goes out and parties , etc.
Then at the seventh day she comes to know that she is not dying at all. The geneius doctor just gave her the fear of dying to make her understand the importance of life. And till the end of the book anyone would love living life because Paulo Coelho's words are magical and they have a great influence to any mindset.
