Death Question? Do you Want to Know

I was asked this a few days ago and since I see this forum seems interested in death I thought I would ask it here, lol!!

If you could have the option of knowing exactly the date of when you are going to die and how you are going to die would you want to know? To get one you also have to get the other answer as well. Would you want to know?


My answer is no I would not want to know. As alot here know I had cancer about 15 years ago and since then I have tried living my life with the fact that today could be my last day anyways so I try my best to live each day with that thought. Try as best I can to treat the people who I care about the way I would want to treat them if I only had a short time left, try to do the things that I would want to do if I only had a short time left, etc.

So anyone interested in knowing when and how you would die?

I would want to know. Just so I can accomplish everything I want to do in life before I died. I like to be prepared for when I go.

I think knowing would be pretty awesome. Could plan everything according to when you know your gonna go. What if I only have 1 year left and I dont even know it? Would miss out on a lot of things I have not done yet. Death sucks lol ruins your plans

Wouldn't it be easier to live everyday thinking that this could be my last and will do everything you can to make that day the best ever?

The worst day of your life has already happened, the best day of your life could be today, why waste it!!!

If I did know what day I was going to die. I would live the remaining days like I live today, knowing today could be the last day of my life.

try to reach my goals before that. also depending on the answer i could do a few things differently. like if its going to be sooner i could get in massive amounts of debt and really enjoy life. or if i know how maybe i can try to cheat death
