If I could know the exact moment and how I died I wouldn’t want to know. I feel that in like you arent sopposed to know those types of things. I feel if I knew my future and how I died, it would ruin my life. I would get so caugh up in trying to figure out how to stop it from happening that I wouldn’t live my life to the fullest. If I knew the exact moment of my death and how it happened defeats the whole purpose of life and never knowing when its gone. My time would be consumed with being upset and becoming obsessed with stopping it form happening.
I really dont want to know the exact momemt or the day I will die. But I know im not going to live forever and I dont want to be living with the concept of dying on a certain moment or hour. Just imagine your doctor telling you you have just a month to live. How would you react to such incredible news? Are you going to take the news philosophically as sometimes in life we get what we don't expect. I would rather die in my sleep or from old age. For example, if I knew the exact day of my death,that would prevent me from fulfilling my goals and living freely because I would know im going die. Knowing helps you to become a better person or the kind of person who does not care.In spite of this, I would rather live life as it is right now. I would rather live in suspense!
I would probably like to know the date of my death due to th fact that I would be able to do everything with my family, meaning all the small things and big things and just for everyone to be happy and be prepared, but who can really prepare for death. I would like to know how I would go because if it painless then I wouldn't worry but if it is full of pain and torture then I would change it if possible. I love living so this is not something I like to think about.
i wouldn't want to know how or when. if i was meant to know such an event i would have the power to. I believe that you shouldn't force anything that is not naturally to be known. i should live my life as if it is precious and caring about all the people in it on a daily basis not based on the fact that i know when and how i am going to die. I should be kind and caring and full of love because that is who i am as a person. It is to my understanding that most people are only more loving and grateful for life when they know it can or is going to be taken from them.
If given a chance of knowing how and when will I die, I would opt out. It is going to happen when it is going to happen, and knowing won’t prevent it, so why bother. I would rather live my life assuming that everyday could be the last and therefore, I should try to make the best out of it.
I wouldnt want to know when or how i would die, becasue i would become either depress or paranoid trying to avoid whatever was going to take my life. Thats why I try to live my life now to the fullest because you really dont know when your life would end.
I would not want to know how and where I would die. First of all, I believe that many factors, such as my health could affect how long I will live and how I will die. These factors can change over time. I would also not like to know because I wouldn't like to live knowing exactly when my life would end.
If I was giving a choice on knowing when I would die and how, well i would choose not to know. Many like me want death to come as a surprise, because you know that this way you would live your life in peace and die in peace. I would not want to worry about counting every second as if it was my last!
This question immediatly brought up the song,"24 Hours to Live." If I was granted the option of knowing my expiration date, I would deny it. I would pass on that decision because death has always been the unknown and it should remain that way. I believe that if I anticipated whats going to happen I would be paronoid 24/7.It would be to much for me, I have goals to achieve and I would get discouraged.
I wouldn't like to know exact day of my death, because then I would have to still think about it and my goals would disapear. You never know what may hapen to you. You shouldn't be focus on what can hapen but what is hapening right now. Only presence may affect future. Knowing when I will die would distract me from enjoying my life.
personally speaking i would not want know that kind of information. i want it to be sudden and unexpected cause knowing me i would look for a million ways to stop it form happening and end up not enjoying the remanding days that i have left and most likely end up doing something silly. This is not a topic i enjoy talking about so when it happens it happens.
I belive that we should enjoy every day of our lives as the last day,and I try to do this every day of my life, so I will be ready when my day comes, for this reason I wouldn't like to know when and I will die.
If i could know the exact moment of my death and how it would happen I would not want to know because I feel a persons death should not be known. I think when someone knows there death they might try to prevent it, however I don't think that will change their death because I think everyone is destined to their death. Death is better to be unexpected because then a person won't fear it if they know how it's going to happen and when. A person thinking about their death and when it might happen might just go crazy expecting it. I wouldn't want to know my death. When it happens then it will happen.
If I could know the exact moment of my death and how it would happen I would like to know it in order for me to be prepared and I would take the advantage of every moment to give my best of me. But, at the same I think its better if death hits us by surprise.
If really wouldn't want to know anything about my death. If I knew how it would go down, I'd become frantic everyday of my life counting down to the date, trying to avoid whatever the cause is of my death. Life can always end at anytime for anyone so I just wouldn't want to know and continue living my life positively.
If i know the exact day of my death and time I will try my best to leave rest of my day happily and try to fulfilled all my dreams. I will rather not prefer to know the day i am gonna die because than I will leave scared all the time and regret all the good moment I have leaved and things I had accomplished.
I don't want to know when i'll die and the way i'll. It is an intense topic and a hard one to talk. I want to live everyday like it will be the last one because we have to enjoy each moment of our life. The dead is something that we should feel respect and not be afraid of it. If i know when i'll die i'll be dead already thinking that the moment will come and also scared me the fact to know the way i'll die will be painful.
No, i wouldn't want to know the exact moment of my death or how it will happen, because I think that I will spend most of my life waiting for that horrible moment to come and find a way to prevent it. Also, every morning as I waske up I will feel like is one less day of my life. That's why I rather not know when my life is going to end, because I like to live my life to the fullest. By me knowing the exact moment it will ruin my everyday life. Gabriela Portilla
If you've ever seen the movie "Big Fish," the protagonist's father meets a witch when he's a young boy out playing in the woods with his friends. The witch has a glass eye, and if she removes it and a person looks into the empty socket, that person sees his/her own death. All the young boys look into her eye -- and see their horrible, untimely deaths, and their lives are ruined knowing they will die young. But the protagonist's father sees that he will live a long, long life, and this makes him fearless -- and he lives a life full of fantastic adventures, confident he will survive any challenge or obstacle in his path. I wouldn't want to know the exact day and time, but I wouldn't mind knowing how :) Thanks everyone for your wonderful remarks! I'll see you in the morning!
