[NoLongerActive123]

hello hello to all 🙂 happy holidays!

WOULD YOU RATHER:

know the date of your death

OR

know the cause of your death?

(given its unavoidable)

hope to hear your thoughts 🙂

The cause...if I knew the date, that's all I would be thinking about.

 

[NoLongerActive123]

hi Bethan83, i totally agree with that!

thanks for replying 🙂

The date. If I knew the cause was going to be something slow, violent and painful, that would be worse thinking about that all the time, rather than knowing the date to me since I already know I'll die someday and contemplate my mortality often as it is, not taking the days I have for granted.

I would rather know the date. Then I could buy a huge term life insurance policy about three months before.

Didn't think about that. Good point!

the cause.. the idea that my time on earth is limited is scary enough to me.. I don't think I could handle knowing exactly *how* limited 😛

 

[teamtickleguy]

Gosh, what a cheerful subject 🙂

I suppose I'd prefer to know when......that way I won't get complacent with my time on this Earth and won't put off doing wonderful things because I think I have more time left than I perhaps have.

All of the above.

A lot of women will marry you at gunpoint... 2.99 months before you die.

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

I'd go with the date.

And then commit suicide a week before.

Ouch! 😉

With my luck, when I find out the date, it's tomorrow.

Like others have said, I'd rather know the cause than the date. I don't want to see death coming lol

 

[Norn Iron]

I'd prefer to know the date. I have children, and I'd like to know in advance so I could prepare them, especially if am to go when they are still young.

Finds out Cause: Death from behind by a stranger.

Dies a thousand deaths of paranoia for rest of life.

lol Commit?! Surely you mean attempt? 😀

EDIT: Oh wait. That was the joke, wasn't it. lol (Think I was a bit slow on the uptake there!)
