Would your life be better or worse if you knew the day, time, and place that you were going to die?
I think that depends on the person.
I dont think i’d like to know when my time is up, it be nice to say goodbye to all and have my affairs in order but i dont want to have that date hanging over my head like a deadline.
If i was rich and could really live each day to its fullest then why not, i’d be rich and no need for job so could spend the rest of my days doing all the things i wanted to before i die, but since im not rich – no i rather just go without knowing, as there is no way i could do all the things i want before such deadline.
My answer would be no. Unless I also knew how. Rich or not, your health and capability makes such a difference to how you can live your life, it even affects your emotions and moods. There are things I’d like to do which cost money, but before I die there are people I don’t see often I’d like to show I care and perhaps some apologies I’d like to be able to make. I guess this is one of those “meaning of life” questions that leads to religions being founded.
