if given the exact time and date of when youre going to die, will you ever feel comfortable..knowing that you still lots of things to do and places you'd like to go..experience can sometimes makes you happy, teaches you lessons in life, it also makes you sad and torn apart..
what if youre sick in the hospital and the man from above tells you that at that time of the day, youll die? will you fell sad, knowing that youre lying there sick in the hospital and there are things that you still wanted to do..some unfinished business...
what if you know when youll die but you still havent prepared for it and youre running out of time..
its sad!
would you?

Definitely not! Why on earth would I want to know the exact time when I'll die? You know, I've always had a problem with these exact times, with definite terms. If I know when something important in my life is going to happen, I get all stressed out because of that, I put myself a million questions about how it would be and so I mess up my mind long before it practically happens. So I would definitely not want to know this kind of thing...It gives me the creeps to even think about that...

i agree! sometimes theres are things that you dont want to arrive...things that if you have the power to change it from happening, youd kill to do it..but there are things that really happen and theres nothing we can do about it...

Knowing the time of your final ride is certainly a bind and pressurizing situation. Pressurizing, it may become as people may have set targets for life which may not seem to be fulfilling in time!
Well if you ask me my reaction, I really don't know. I've always had this habit of doing things in the nick of time, completing tasks at the 11th hour. So probably it would give me a sting first and then a targeted life, which will be dedicated to some goals; and ya, if that time is in my early-middle life (age)!!!

It would be very daunting to know and I think some people do seem to know some how, it would be good to be able to give your estate and things away while you are alive to the people you think deserve it, it would stop a lot of fighting between families hey, but it would be pretty scary, sometimes I think when you are told you have so long is good in the way you can get everything in order and cleaned up but it would be hard to live with I guess.

wow... tats too exciting..... to know wen u r going to die and also how are u going to die..... but the thing is it takes a lot of courage to get prepared for something which u dont want to happen so early.. but the advantage is that fearing the end so soon we would rush to accomplish all the pending works or to fulfill all our wishes and dreams... after doing so we would mentally prepare our mind for the great slumber tat too with complete peace of mind..

That is a hard one, there would be advantages and disadvantages to both sides. The advantages of knowing the exact time and date of when you are going to die, is that you could say good bye to all your love ones and tell them how much they mean to you. You could also make sure you fulfill all the things you possibly can before you die. However the disadvantage of knowing when you are going to die exactly is that you might not stop stressing over that date, you will be worried everyday that time is running out.
However it would be very sad like you said if you knew exactly when you were going to die but you were so sick that you could not go experience all the things that you wanted to do.
However I would still rather know as I would hate to die and not say goodbye to the people that I love. That would always haunt me.

I would not like to know the exact time of when I am going to die. If I were to know that definitely I will not feel comfortable but sad and worry a lot as I have to finish many things in hurry. I have lots of things to do and I must complete them nicely before leaving. By far I could do whatever things I like and enjoy life without knowing the exact date and time I have to leave.

Hello daryljane,
I prefer not to know when it is my turn to go. I would like to enjoy my life to the fullest, do whatever I want to do and at the same time, always remember that one day, sooner or later, it will be my time to go. I just don't feel comfortable to know the exact time...

I would want to know when I'm going to die, so I could do most, if not all, of the things I would want to do. Maybe I wouldn't work anymore so I could just spend my time going places and being with the people I love the most. Maybe I'll even throw a "going-away" party for myself and make sure that the people I love are there to spend the last minutes of my life with me. I would rather be prepared than just leave this world one day without being able to say goodbye to my loved ones.

well. thats also the advantage in that, at least you can get prepared of when youre going to die and that you can get to do things you wanted to do, finish things up..so when the time comes, you can just sit down and prepare yourself for the exact time..but its still scary eh..:d

i think it would be kinda errie, but i also think it would be kinda cool, you know you could do anything daring that is scary because you would know it isn't your day to die and that would be alot of fun i would run accross freeways, jump off buildings, sky diving base jumping you name it... lol i would probably do alot of that stuff now.
