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 many things as possible, or something else?

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 so it seems that we are not so scared of death than we think?

@sumojumo I am not scared of death at all. Read this book, "On death and dying" by kubler-ross. I took a course in college. Helped a lot. I would recommend it to anyone afraid of dying

@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..

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

@ronisme1 very true
