If you knew when you could plan and make the most of life but it would be a constant shadow over you. But if you were never aware of your mortality would it be a weight off your shoulders? Do we know too much?

I'd wanna know a week in advance so I could say my goodbyes to all my loved ones, but not any longer than taht else it would just hang over your head and you would grow apathetic. Life's ridiculously pointless when you realise you're going to die. Even if you try everything new, it won't count for anything. Maybe I'd be a bit of a hero though, saving lives etc, since I knew the date of my death and it wouldn;t alter. Might as well make the most of that... lol could spend my last few weeks in a coma that way though... All depends on HOW I was gonna die, as to what my plan of action would be then. if it looked like I could ahve been comatose up to death I'd probably leave the hero thing - that's not helping anyone and my organs would be useless for harvesting.

I think it's best to remember that we do all die. What would you differently if you knew it was going to be tommorrow, or next monday? Maybe you should do some of those things today anyway because it just might be.
I believe you should make the most of life anyway. Being good to those around you, telling people that you love or care about them now because tommorrow may never come is not a bad way to live.
Never put off until tommorrow what you can do today!

We already live in ignorant bliss...and I'm fine. If I knew, the knowledge of my demise would rob me of my enjoyment of the time I have left. On the other hand, having the knowledge would make me appreciate people, time, and life's importances. On the back of the other hand, we should be like that in every day of our ignorant bliss.

BEing ignorant bliss will not save you from dying. Live you're life to the fullest. Death is just a matter of time. We will all die. Sooner or later.

Sometimes I think I'd like to know the exact time of my death but then there would be no more spontaneity in life, so I'll go with the ignorance is bliss.

Well, as the famous quote says, "Live each day as if it were your last" I believe in that to the fullest. I feel that we should live as if these are our last days anyway...I wouldn't want to be informed of my upcoming death becasue then I would be too worried and scared to even get out and live life. I mean, I could die tomorrow, but the fact that I don't know causes me no worries today. I'm not gonna go into some panic attack because I don't know..What you don't know won't hurt you..."LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST!!!"

hi :) sometimes the actuality could be painful. sometimes it truly is basically too difficult to undergo. In such circumstances, residing in ignorant bliss supplies you us time to repair issues out and get issues at the same time. yet interior the tip, we are people who try for actuality; we would have a confusing time accepting it, yet we will not completely be happy till we've. God bless, John.

personally i think we do know too much. life is something that needs to be lived not explored. people need to enjoy life rather than work all the time and never make time for anyone else. i mean i am still young and i understand life better than some adults. you know why. because i enjoy it. so know it is much better just to let it happen than to plan it.

Ignorant bliss for me, I would prefer to lead my life happy then have a date looming ahead of me...
The people I love know that I love them so I am sure I don't need to make special time to tell them...
