Would you want to know?

Asked by mariachitown about 1 year ago, 8 answers.

If you personally could go find out right now how exactly (not when) you are going to die, would you want to go and find out?

I wouldn't want to know how. I wouldn't mind knowing when and how, but definitely not just how on its own, because you would have no idea when it might happen and you'd be scared of doing almost anything for fear that you might end up in the situation that kills you. And that would not really be a life worth living, being paranoid of your own death. At least, that's my opinion.

I guess the previous comment could be correct in some sense... some people with cancer die in car crashes? drowning? Fires? etc.

I wouldn't want to know personally. that would be too weird.

I would want to know how much time I have left... hmm one thing although it may be silly is like in regards to saving money and putting it away for your retirement... If I knew I was going to die and not make to my retirement I would prefer to use that money now and LIVE it UP!!!

but like mentioned before I wouldnt want to know how

Yeah I would like to know how I'm going to die but not when. Because then I would be able to do all the dangerous things I can get up to and KNOW I'm not going to meet my death. This is a bit like the film Big Fish

At first I was going to say yes I would like to know how, but after reading some replies I changed my mind to - no. Imagine knowing you're going to die in your sleep - wow - that would be a stinger wouldn't it? I sleep everyday! ;-)
