No freaking way! Knowing when I will die would change the way I live my life - probably for the worse.
Let's make it a complete surprise - or at least give me very little warning.
I always think this is an example of another frivolous question with an inconsequential answer. We do not know the day of our death...only the certainty of it. Why dwell on what might be and burn daylight on something who's outcome cannot be determined?
WE all will die someday ... would knowing the date of your death possibly lead you to take more risks in your day to day life?
Now that I think about it ... there are some things which I think are worse than death ... alzhiemers comes to mind ... a slow lingering death from cancer ... total paralysis .... knowing the exact date of your death doesn't say anything about the quality of your life up to that date.
Focus on life!!
I would prefer to concentrate on how I live my life.
By living each day to the fullest, the date of my death is just a number...
No way would I want to know that. Because IF I did know the exact date and time, I'd go sky diving that very day, but not pull the rip cord. HAH- see beat you too it!
No, but thanks for asking!
Thanks for a great response, drmck! I will get miles and miles of use outta that one!
Nope, just let it comes when it may! I'm ready!
That is really something to think about.
The Doctors told my Sis that she had six months to live and she died almost to the day six months later.
My Beloved Sis died March 13, 2003 and she knew when she was going to die and she made all her preparations - spiritually and physically and tried to make things easier for me.
We had a beautiful close relationship during the last six months of her life with much love.
She died peacefully and content knowing she had done the best that she could do.
She smiled at me and held my hand and went to heaven. I felt her leave me and go into peace.
I really do hope I have the opportunity to know when I will die and do the things for others that I love to make it easier for them.
Of course, we should love and take tender care of our loved ones, but with our hectic lives sometimes we forget or do not take the time to do the small things that matter so much and end up with regrets and guilt.
No way! I don't want to know anything the future holds for me.
Absolutely! I'm terrible about not wanting to go do things by myself. I end up putting way too much on my "someday" list. It shouldn't take knowing I am going to die to kick me in the butt, but I would hate to die wishing I had done more.
yes of course i want to know what a silly question (JUST KIDDING)
i want to know so i can tell mahna and prepare her for my death so she doesn't have to be so sad or stressed or whatever emotion will overpower her at the time of the occurance.
Ewwww! No! It reminds me of a Doctor saying "Go home and get your personal affairs in order. There's nothing more we can do. You have 6 weeks." I know I'm gonna die. I live with that knowledge every day (even though I don't think of it every day.) But if everyone lived as if this were their last day on Earth, just think what a wonderful, and loving (or terribly chaotic) place it would be. I tend to think it would be filled with Love!
