A letter

If you get a letter and inside it, there will be your death date,would you open it?

 

No.

I'm perfectly content with my life and wouldn't need to know the date of my death in order to attempt convince myself I've had a good run, simply because of my knowing that it's going to be over soon.

As I have very few regrets and am not a person that lives for the future, I would not care to know the date of my death. I don't want to say I live every day like it's my last, but it seems to be a significant part of the ideology and worldview I've created for myself.

 

But if you know when you die, you wouldn't waste your life maybe?And you could spend all your money before death?

 

How would you know the letter would contain your death date?

 

Defentley.


*Infracted*

 

This is a brilliant question i dont know, but say it was a week later from the day you opened it the way you acted after would effect u to lead to your death, then leadin you to the conclution if you didnt open it you wouldnt act that certain way to lead to your death

 

uh I dont think I would, because then knowing that it is coming, I think I might stress a little knowing that time is running short.

 

If you think about it, you'd die peacefully..

 

Yes, I would actually. It would give me time to stop goofing around and start living life.

 

I wouldn't do it right then, I would think about it for some time. I would probably just burn it without reading the date. I don't want to know when I die, besides what if it said a later death and I just shot my self right then? In my opinion death should remain a mystery.

 

I would open it - It would probally force me to get my acts together. I could take a long farewell to my family and loved ones, and not actually die with grudges or anything like that.

 

With my luck, I would open it, and it would say 11/17/10 (Yesterday for those who don't know.)

But yeah, I would open it.

 

I'd open it, 100%. I'm very curious about things.....

 

Id open it.

Give me time to turn things straight, enjoy myself more then usual before I'm gone. Make a lasting impression on friends and family

 

I'd open it. It'd help me plan out my life better.

 

I would. Id like to know so I start living life like no tomorrow, that's if my death isn't tomorrow

 

I would open it, use the death date to advertise for my own fortune telling service "Look people, to start my fortune telling service, let me predict my own death date ... *chanting* *chanting* ... you know what, my service will only last for 1 more day because I only have 1 more day to live *sigh*"

 

Of course.

I'm not one to avoid something that will arrive eventually. Knowing when it's coming would be excellent.

“.. almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

 

I most certainly would. It would let me get stuff off my chest. Finally be happy with dying. If you read Tuesday's with Morrie you would really wouldn't need to ask this question because it would answer all the questions about death, atleast what I think it would be like.

 

i would, then the day before i die, i go on a mass murder spree. take as many people with me as i could.

suck if the day comes and it was all a joke and im sentenced to life imprisonment huh?
