- “You’re born alone and you die alone and this World just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts, but I never forget. I’m living like there’s no tomorrow, because there… Isn’t one.”
-Don Draper, Mad Men
His character has two kids at this time in season one. You can’t live like “it’s your last day” when you have a family to protect and support. What a guy! Lol 😂
If you don't really give a shit about them, you can. That's kind of where he is at this point.
You know everyone whose ever existed has at one point lived "like it was their last day" right?
That's just a rule this world drops on you to make you forget the facts
@@newacc4424😂 touché hombre
he does give care. but he is also living on glass. on fake indentitiy. always lookign over your shoulder. never can relax really. be stable/rooted@@neighbourhoodmusician
The timbre in his voice
Scotch + cigarette.
“I’m living like there’s no tomorrow”
Instead I am being unfaithful to the people who love me, and have a severe alcohol problem.
but there is tomorrow
That's the point, there isn't a "tomorrow" on ones life, the idea of adultery, keeping ones vices in check doesn't have any meaning if you don't give it any.
Yeah, but it doesn’t sound cool when you say it like that
He gets called out for being full of shit mere seconds later.
People don’t understand this character.
Enlighten us.
@Septic Neuron it’s not psychoanalytic/ it’s the truth watch the show and if you can’t see that he’s an emotionally traumatized kid in a mans body you didn’t understand a single episode.
@@allornothing432 after Don delivers his speech Rachel hits him with this line
“I do know what it feels like to be out of place, to be disconnected, to see the whole world laid out in front of you the way other people live it. There is something about you that tells me you know it, too.”
Don replies clearly rattled and teary eyed “I don’t know if that’s true” and the he changes the subject “can I get you another drink”.
This is a show based on subtext.
@Septic Neuron unfathomably based
@@danmarsh6448 precisely! I haven't finished it yet, but the first seasons are all about how Don's persona is just one big cover for his insecurities and traumas. Also, dude is a walking contradiction. One day he's telling his team the ad is not sexy enough, but the next morning he's telling his wife not to wear a bikini.
That's why Don's character is so brilliant, because he's too human
The first sentence is true enough as far as it goes. But the idea that living as though there is no tomorrow is the solution leads to error. Unless one is planning to make sure there is no tomorrow by taking some definite action to ensure this, it's best to keep some of everything in reserve to meet tomorrow's challenges.
Just like in everything, Don is full of shit. He's definitely planning for and building towards a tomorrow, that's why he steals his CO's identity and cons himself into a career etc.
It really sums up Don's character, luxurious and put together on the surface but deeply flawed and prone to shortsightedness underneath
This is good advice. Everyone needs a safety net a port in a harbour no matter how far they throw caution to the wind for a minute.
The thing I can never get out of my head is that Jon Hamm does this little "mmm no he didn't" z-type sashay with his head between the words "I", "never", "forget" - then grins like he fully expects this to be an outtake. The dialogue is so gravid with dark meaning and he's being a goof
I think that’s to add to the aura of his character- that he smirks at the irony of life, plus the industry he works for would make him have some level of disillusionment
@@serenequeen8973never watched the show. What do you mean by his work causing disillusionment?
Alls I know is that tomorrow is not guaranteed. So while I'm not suggesting to not plan for tomorrow, I'm not suggesting to go overboard planning for it either. You either will or won't be here tomorrow. And that is based on what you do or don't do today. It's not complicated.
Don Draper living like there's no tomorrow. So true!!!!
damn.
Why is Tara hanging out with this man? Jax is gonna be pissed.
I would bet on Don everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. If it came down to it between him and Jax he could become the marketing agency for Indian, put Harley out of business, and Jax would be walking. Don would then run him over with the new car he just bought after he littered in the field and was done with the family picnic. He would then get with Betty Tara that stoner artist he hangs with sometimes and then bring some rando back to his apartment to finish things off for the night. Don is the man.
WHAT A QUOTE !
It's out of character and poorly written. Mad Men jumped the shark long before this point.
@@Mr___X Is this a joke or do you have no idea what you're talking about?
0:14 rachel be like: bullshit man....
Gemma shouldn't have killed her.
He lives like there is no tomorrow because there isn’t means… Tomorrow doesn’t exist yet. I live in the now, because now exists. Tomorrow hasn’t come yet, and does not exist. So don’t worry about tomorrow just yet, worry about now.

Pro tip:: Don't take life advice from fictional characters, especially awful ones like Don Draper
It's simple: *DON'T* be like Don Draper or Tony Soprano.
The amount of people who fetishize these literal villains is way too high@@wawawuu1514
Somewhere out there some poor guy is using this line on a girl thinking its deep
Worst advice ever. If you live like there is no tomorrow then you’ll end up poor, filled with regret with only Hell to look forward to.
yes its all about balance
Regret and Hell is all anyone has to look forward to
@@JesusHammer not if you’re in Christ. Repent and be saved while you can.
If you live like there's no tomorrow then how would you die with regret? The whole point of living life to the fullest is to live for yourself.
@@stevenlovejoy6838 if you live like there’s no tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes - there are often consequences you hadn’t considered.
which episode?
S1E1 Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Season 5 finale
The Matrix Episode 5
Pretty nihilistic. Don lives the way he does because he’s a self-centered progressive and does care about the damage he does to others. Plus he’s wealthy enough to cushion any negative outcomes.
Lol. He lives the way he does because his identity is a charade, allowing him to detach himself from the consequences of his actions, before he even had any money
Don isn't rly progressive
Nihilism was common at the time because the threat of nuclear Armageddon meant the average person was much more aware of their own mortality than ever before.
@@sunkintree he literally says explicitly that he'd vote for Nixon haha. OP is likely a Trumpist who sees anything less right wing than that as 'progressive', even if Don literally says the opposite
Can’t miss an opportunity to get a political dig in even though it is totally irrelevant and wrong. No surprise there. And this is a character on a tv show that was a great series.
Nihilism in a nutshell
But very true
Buddhism
An oversimplification
Mom: did she call back?
Me: NO! She hasn’t called back
Mom: Incoherent rambling
Me: That’s right mom, I’m gonna grow old and dry alone!
