Poll: A Question about death.

[The Eaten Cake]

Um. No. It would only exacerbate the realisation of mortality.

Man I can barely enjoy my life knowing that a test is coming up that I don't like, I couldn't possibly manage a happy and productive life knowing the exact time of my death.

I don't like to think about death. It gives me the creeps when I start to think what really happens when we "go". I would be scared shitless while waiting for the last few seconds of my life to expire...

Although is confusing with all the time paradox crap. I mean, knowing when you will die will change your behaviour which will change when you die.

There is nothing paradoxical about it at all. Him telling you causes you to act exactly how you are supposed to. He is supposed to tell you, you are supposed to try and escape it, and this is what leads you to your death. There is no real paradox there.

If we go by this way of thinking, it seems to me that knowing when you will die will probably be a life-prolonging device. Excluding terminal diseases most of your possible deaths could be avoiding by acting safely around the die your are supposed to die and thus the god would have toe chose the closest possible death that can't be avoided and since most of the time you would die of a death that can be avoided before a death that can't be avoided, knowing your death would make you live longer most of the time.

Feel free to point out any errors in this reasoning.

I would like to know so I could live life to the fullest till I died.

Because you wouldn't otherwise?

If I were to die in a month, I'd want to do every thing I'd want with my life before I die, and say goodbye to friends and loved ones.

So the only difference is saying goodbye to people?
