i remember hearing a quote a long the lines of

"i wouldn't mind knowing how or when i'm going to die 'cause then atleast I know i'd live through everything else"
i think it was in the movie big fish

i thought that was quite a cool little quote

however, realistically I dont think I would, I don't think i'd enjoy the years just before the day i die & if it turned out I'm destined to die in the next few years I'd go insane

[buttons]

nope I wouldn't

[Chipmunks]

iwould like to know!
so i could spend my last moments with my fam doing what we enjoy doing!

[Gina]

no i wouldnt
i wouldnt want to worry about it or anything
just want to live my life doing whatever and normal until it happens then uno
i'd probably get really paranoid about everything as well if i did know

[dbgtz]

I would like to know.

[Jurv]

i wouldn't

i think i'd spend most of my time thinking of ways to cheat it instead living everyday like normal

[Inseriousity.]

absolutely not. My whole motto in life is that you don't know what tomorrow will be like so you've always got something to look forward to. knowing when you're going to die would just ruin that like a huge burden on your shoulders. Knowing when and not knowing how would make you a nervous wreck, like watching final destination and wondering if moving this tea towel will mean I'll be dead soon. Knowing how would also make you a nervous wreck so yeah it's a lose-lose situation, best not knowing anything about it.

Nooo I don't think I'd like to know. I guess you could say "I have all this things to do before I die" but anticipating it would be awful

I was just about to type 'yeah I'd love to know so I can live to the fullest' but then I read Camerons post.. damn you for changing my mind

Yeah I'd be super paranoid and try to get out of it and probably always be panicky soo nope!
