Would you want to know when you were going to die?

I wouldn't. i think of it like this

If you have a quiz that you know you are gonna fail, then you will dread all of the time you have until that quiz. But if you have a pop quiz, you wont know anythings wrong until boom!! you fail!

this could be a repost. but i couldn't find it. :D
 
i would want to know.

then i could plan my life accordingly and have fun, get married, travel, eat great food and do whatever.

if i found out i'd be dying say, tomorrow, then i'd go buy a plane ticket and travel to where i can, when i can.

so there
 
well if someone came up and told me that im gonna die on a given date, then that means i would be immune from death until that date, wouldnt it? so yeah i think being invincible would have significant advantages.
 
Threads like this crack me up. Why dont you guys realize only God knows when we will die. He has a plan for everyone, so there is now way for us to ever figure it out.
 
i think knowing when you're going to die would be kind of liberating. you would definitely have a different perspective on life. you would stop more often to take a look around...you would realize how trivial the things in life are. big screen tv, latest gear, newest clothes, and etc..i would have a hard time staying still that's for sure.
 
but then you have to think, why is it because we don't have the knowledge of our death that we don't live this way? what if we re-wired the way we think about our own mortality?
 
I heard on T.V. (so it must be true...) that humans are the only animals that acknowledge they are going to day someday. I don't know how they know it to be true or false though..

Back to thread. I would like to know because it would allow me to live life to the fullest and make me take risks.
 
this !!! haha

but seriously i would want to know just to do everything i always wanted to do in my life.
 
If you believe in god that is.

My opinion when people ask this question is this: some people don't want to and others do. The people who do justify it by saying I'd wanna know so
I could live my life to the fullest. I say we will never know when we will die so act as if you did and live it to the fullest anyway. I know I try to live mine to the fullest and I know that if I died tomorrow even though I'm young I'd still feel good about how I
Used the time I
Had.
 
fuck yea i would. because then i would be invicible up until that point. so i would go around and break ever fucking world record i could and go down in history for being a bad ass mother fucker
 
I would want to know, so i could plan my days out. ex. if i was dying in three weeks i wouldnt be going to school, i'd be doing everything i need to before i die!
 
It would be impossible to determine. Say you were told you would get killed by a truck crossing the street. You would just not cross the street. The only way this would work would be if you were to die from an unciurable illness, something that would kill you no matter how early you went to a doctor.
 
It would really be a blessing to know. That sounds really religious but how many people wonder about and worry about the day they will pass away. Basically it would suck to know, but i would rather have it that way.
 
nope, as much as i can tell myself that id live life to the fullest until that day comes, im pretty sure id just spend the rest of my life dreading that day
 
i wouldnt because that way i would live my life the way i want to, not in the constant fear of your imminent death. its liberating to not know your end, ya know?
 
death is imminent regardless. fear of death would only occur when you didnt know when it was gonna get you
 
I like the analogy OP explained. Until I read it I thought for sure I would want to know. now my mind has changed. fuck tests and quizzes.
 
absolutely. i would do some horrible, unforgivable shit in my last 12 hours or so and have zero repurcussions. i would save all my illegal bucketlist items for the end.
