Would you want to know when or how you'll die?

I don't think I'd like to know, because it's something that's inevitable anyway, and I'll take it when it comes. I suppose the way I deal with it is to live each day as far as I can, in the way that makes me happiest and I don't let other people tell me what they think I should be doing. That way, when the end comes (whether it's tomorrow or in 30 years' time - I'm in my 50s now), at least I can say I was true to myself and reaped the rewards.

i guess i do want to know. it gives me the exact time and the exact date on when im going to die. i like it that way because i procrastinate a lot. and knowing when i would die i feel would somehow break me from my procrastination and do the things i want to do. if i would die early like lets say a week i know i wouldnt get to do all the things i want to do but at least i could have time to set things straight, even if it is just the little things. if i would die like lets say a year or months later then i would do more of the things i want to do in a longer time period. for me knowing when i would die would probably be just a wake up call and make you think about what you have done with your life and make you start moving again

In a way I think it's tempting to say I would like to know, so you can cram all the things in that you haven't yet had chance to do and most of all say goodbye to your loved ones. Many people are taken away so suddenly, people who have lived their live with the motto 'tomorrow I will be happier', many don't get to say goodbye. I think it would be hard to handle to start off with, but I'm sure it's something you could get your head around if strong enough. A good friend of mine passed away two years ago very suddenly, I have now vowed to enjoy everyday as much as I can.

I think none of can know what it would be like to have a terminal illness. I think most people would choose to die quickly but I really don't know how I would react to knowing exactly how long I had to live. All I know is I can live my life as if it will end soon. Life is more beautiful that way. I appreciate each day and don't want to waste any of it. I can get more happiness from being with other people and from my experiences of life.

i dont know really. i mean it feels a liitle bit tempting so that you would know what to do and how to react and everything, but at the same time i am also afraid to know about the future. scary isn't it?
