I thought this would be an interesting question but maybe that's just me lol

So if it was possible to know when you're going to die, would you want to? and why or why not?

I would want to so i could plan everything up to that day.

All my life I never liked people spoiling the ending of any story or movie. I feel the same about my lifespan. I'd rather it be a surprise. :p

well i like surprises, plot twists in movies, games etc.

but when it comes to real life, not so much lol

i like to be in control or at least be able to adapt and deal with the situation.

No, I'd rather not. I think it would be horrible counting down the days.

I thought about it some more since posting, and the only time I'd want to know would be if I only had say 5 or less years left. Then I could at least know that I don't need to waste my life worrying about a future that won't happen, and I could just enjoy myself in the moment and be brave for a change. Like Queen Latifah in last holiday. xD

I would not want to. It is wonderful to live every moment. I'm very much spontaneous person, and loves surprises. If ever i know i am dying, i am not living the rest of my days as i am. I'm always cool whatever it would be.

I don't think I would do so well with that information. I might be happy though if I went out like a boss while completing a secret mission where hundreds of lives were at stake. As long as I put up a good fight and was successful, I might be comfortable with that. LOL

Seriously though, I submitted info to a form years ago that would tell you how you die and when. I don't remember when but it said I'd get my neck broken on accident by a chiropractor. Interestingly enough, I have to go to the chiropractor soon for bad neck problems.

I think that's evil and also untrue!

ANYWAY.

I don't want to know because I think that would make me feel less motivated to live for some reason.

throw a party call everyone close...and just have fun!! Ensure they take a day off(Some day before that day)...:D
Rest, whatever i want to do, will not be possible in any time i get in time, because one after the other the wishes will keep coming. Prefer staying this way, for living in eternity is better.
