If our world was a little different and we could know....

...exactly when we were going to die (the exact date/time/minute) would you want to know? Or would you prefer to leave things as they are now and just live your life as it is.
The second part to that question is, if you do want to know exactly when you wil die, or even if you don't know when I guess you could still answer this one, how would you like to "go out"? In your sleep? With your loved ones around you? Doing some crazy stunt that you know you might not live thru anyway?
I can't decide. Sometimes I'd like to know, but then I feel like then I'd be in a rush to cram everything in that I felt that I wanted to get done. I'm actually afraid to die and leave my family behind. It scares me spitless. Knowing the exact date and time would probably drive me crazier and crazier the closer we got to the day.

Oh wow, I'd probably be CRAZY if I knew the exact time and date for sure. I would rather just die peacefully in my sleep I think. I'm a big chicken!!! I guess if that wasn't possible, any way that isn't painful. I hate the thought of unexpected deaths...they are always hard on families so this makes me feel a bit uneasy. I don't know...this is a hard subject to tackle. Makes you think and then think some more! I hope I live to be an old, old lady :) Take care and have a great day--live it like you were dying?? Seems like a good motto for today.

No I'll not want to know when I'll go as it's not my biz,as a believer in God I can just say that this is his biz as he is the big BOSS....

i would not want to know the way or the time i'm going to die, i figure its pretty much guaranteed that i will die one day.. why rush it and find out the exact second? plus then i'll get mad around that time instead of just living my life and enjoying it..

this is a creepy thing to think about. I too have mixed feelings. its a good thing that i dont have to decide if i find out or not. I dont think I would want to know when i was going to die. i thinks its best to live everyday to the fullest and go to sleep at night with no regrets.

Would I want to know? In a way, yes, that way I would know how long I have to do all the things I want to do and I'd be able to see those that I love before my time is through. As to how I'd like to go, quietly in my sleep, please. I don't want to suffer or be in pain.
