I've changed from the meme to: if I'm going to live I want to live. Not have to do a bazillion things in order to survive another day. So if I fail to do something that keeps me alive, I accept the risk of possibly dying.
That's not really what the meme is saying.
It's more, if my life were to end spontaneously, I would be okay with that. As long as I'm still alive, however, I will continue to make efforts to stay alive.
The feeling, which I share, is more acceptance/apathy, more than giving up when things go wrong. I don't want to starve to death as much as the next person. But I Thanos snapped his fingers and I was dusted, that's good. I'm okay with that.
I don't want to die painfully, I don't seek death. I just don't have any strong feelings about not existing anymore.
