Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Well, it'd be nice to get a chance to drink the wine cellar and cash in the savings and generally have a good time :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathalie L 112512 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 The article discusses the specific time of day you'll die. For example, in the morning or in the evening. It doesn't discuss when in broader terms, which is what I initially assumed would be the topic of the article. I would have no qualms knowing about what time of day I'll die. Mind you, would it make me paranoid around that time everyday? I have no idea. Perhaps I would dread the time so much, I would eventually have a heart attack and/or anxiety attack and it would result in a self-fulfilling prophecy. I definitely wouldn't want to know, more broadly, when I will die. I would like to think I live a life without regret. When I think back over what I have or haven't done over the years I always assume that I was doing exactly what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. There's no point in judging myself harshly for the past. I try to live in the present moment, even if it's hard sometimes. From a practical perspective, I agree with Phaedrus. It would be nice to know when to drink the liquor in the cabinet and spend the 'for a rainy day' money. A lot of people plan for a retirement that never happens because their lives were taken too early. I guess it's simply important to find a balance between current and future happiness. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterfly Kisses 2301 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 I know how long I want to live, so hearing someone tell me why I won't make it until then is not my cup of tea reading! If I make it to 2067, watch for me on TV. Not only will I be the oldest man on earth, but I will be the oldest living pooner too, lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 As someone who lives day by day with no preset plans I would say no , I don't won't to know . I prefer to have it creep up on me like everything else. I think knowing would make me a nervous wreck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
