Re: What do you think about the idea of knowing when you will die?
I have mixed feelings about knowing or not knowing. It could be scary to know and probably depressing but I suppose the benefit of it would be to try and accomplish as much as I can with the time I have. This would give me a sense of purpose and relief.
I would love to read this book!

This is what I thought.0726890034 wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 13:05 Personally I couldn't like the idea of knowing when I will pass. For instance if am to die tomorrow and am sure of it,definitely I could give up on every single thing I had invested my effort it . Probaby I could even drop out of school. Be all stressed up mostly because I don't feel like I have lived my life to my full potential . Not mentioning the mental break down I could experience in digesting what's going to happen. .

That's true, I might be too focused on that day approaching and miss out on just living my life without worrying about it. I might also try to do too much and not enjoy my days. I would feel pressure to get as much done, and see as many loved ones as possible.jennyd2003 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2018, 22:22 In reality though, I think if we know when we will pass then we will do things differently. We won't enjoy the time simply because we will be counting down until it's over.

I wouldn't want to know. What if the day was much sooner than you were expecting? I personally would be constantly counting down and would forget to live life to the fullest. I would much prefer to not know.

Depending on the circumstances, knowing may guide me towards making safer choices and living a happier life while I have life and breath within me. But then...I am supposed to be doing this either way so the question is "What is the value in knowing when we are going to die?"
Life is precious and while we know this at a mental level...how many of us really ensure that each day is lived as a blessing. Instead, I think we get bogged down by the daily routines and the system that keeps us going through the 8:00am to 4:00pm prison.
Maybe knowing the end can help us to better focus on what activities are important and what ought to take priority. We only have so much time here and therefore we need to make the most of the days and months that we have left.
