What would you do if you were told exactly when you are going to die?

Lets take two scenarios: 1. you are told you are going to die tomorrow 2. you are told you are going to die in a month and lets say this is reliable information, so you can be pretty sure about it. You think you would collapse in sorrow, or try as...

I'd live my days as usual. I'd though talk to everyone I love at least for the last time.

@argav83 but you would react the same if you had one day, or one month?

argav83 · 41-45, M

@sumojumo Yup. One month isn't much. I wouldn't wait for the last day to have a conversation with loved ones, like I do with exams. I don't have any problem with dying but obviously it'd suck and thought of it would linger back of my mind.

I'd tidy up my place and find a good home for my cat and then wait

sumojumo · 36-40, M

@Fernie I love it that people do not try to make it a fuss, or something extravagant. Just like going for a longer vacation. There is some zen beauty to this attitude

@sumojumo It IS quite peaceful

I picture my self in a surreal state of mind, as if my body was falling from a great hight. It would all be black as I pinch my eyes so hard together I feel the connection from my eyes to my ears. They start ringing and my teeth clinch together so hard that it feels like I'm made of cement.

My mind starts reasoning with the sentence arguing for it to be a loophole. I see my friends and family and then I start crying. I want to reach out to them but knowing there's not enough time makes me want to turn back the clock, make the world stop turning and reverse time itself.

I know myself, I'm a coward but a thoughtful coward, I would make something, draw something, record something but I'd never change my ways.

@sumojumo Thanks 😊 I really like your question. I might even stalk you a little, is it more where that came from? 😄

sumojumo · 36-40, M

@DeLorean 😄 I am very tolerant to friendly stalking, so be my guest. Maybe there is more like this hidden somewhere, you can be the judge :)

I would attempt to do as much as possible in my time left. I've had a good life, no reason to be mournful about it. Enjoy the sunrises, and sunsets

@ronisme1 thanks for the recommendation. I think I am not scared of death, but I am scared of the process of dying. So if someone told me the exact date of death, I would probably be relieved. I am just afraid of suffering..

ronisme1 · 61-69, M

@sumojumo we are all afraid of that, nothing that can be done for that

sumojumo · 36-40, M

@ronisme1 very true

I would try to do as many things on my "bucket list" as possible. But I don't plan on going any time soon - the list gets longer all the time.

sumojumo · 36-40, M

@MaryJanine wish your bucket list never ends

MaryJanine · 70-79, F

Thanks. Every time I complete one thing, two or three more are added to it.

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

Id die at said time
