Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
All life is is the moment!. We don't live in the past or future with the idea of acting upon them!. Whatever is possible is possible only in the moment!. Being alive means being in the moment and nothing else!. That really is, all that life is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, life cannot be reduced to a single moment!. Life is a journey, and even if one has decided what they want to do with that life it's not over!. The person then has the daunting task of actually doing it!. Besides, life is more than what a person considers his/her dream -the side trips and quiet times are just as much a part of it!. There is no "sound byte" moment which captures a person's life (it's too meaningful for that)!.

"Here is a test to find
whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't"
-Richard Bach, "Illusions"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think so!. I think life IS every moment from the first breath to the last!. Humans are not a simple static creature (although that is always open for debate) and I don't believe our lives can be simplified to one moment, choice, chance, mistake etc!. Whether or not all those moments in between our birth and death have any assigned value is entirely up to each of us and to what our agreed definition of "value" is!. True, certain moments can shape the following moments to come but I don't believe there's a climax at which our "destiny" falls into line but that's just what I believe!.!.!. truth is something far more illusive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I believe it to be true!. I think that everyone lives life, however everyone eventually comes to one moment in their life that defines them, and it is in that single moment that life is reduced!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, in my opinion!.!.!.!.!. no!. I think only God knows what his plans are for you, and if you knew!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. well you won't!. IF people say it's true I think they saw what they WANTED to do at that moment for their life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.it's a defining moment and a driving force!.!.!.I think it's like the old saying goes, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"
and then, it is so proved!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, it can!. It comes down to a moralistic choice that can define what you really are, and what others perceive of you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hmmmm!.!.!.
i dont think so but maybe because i haven't experienced itWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think it could be!.!.!.but there are so many different aspects to our lives that I don't think one decision can define all of it unless in the most rare of circumstances!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Every one has one defining moment in their lives!.!.!. other than Birth and death!.!.!. That one moment That changes us into who we are!.!.!. that is the one moment!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
