I don't want to know the very day BUT..
I've often wondered what my life would be like if I had to live with a terminal disease. Would I be a better person if I knew I only had two years to live? How about six months? A week?
I worry that I'm going to waste the whole shebang on this useless drivel that I spend my time on now. Thinking the whole time that I have a lot of time left to worry about the important stuff. Then bang it's over and i missed the chance. Even knowing that this is true I know that tomorrow I'll get up and repeat the same mistake all over again.

Of course NOT!
Because simply I'll be so OBSESSED by the idea each day of my life till this day arrives, and I'll relate every single situation I go through that it's like an approach to die. It's a feeling NO ONE would EVER want to experience!
You might even harm yourself, get depressed and be completely insane and obsessed because you're aware and know that eventually on that day will die.
No thank you! I surely don't want to know when am I going to die, even if I had the ability to find out; I would refuse to know.

I would. I have chosen already, 2 days a year, about six months apart, I call them death days. What I do is imagine I've been given six months to live. I try to do only those things I would find important , treat my family and friends, as if I had only this much time left. It sounds crazy, but at times in my life, this has kept me sane. Leaving regrets behind, making no new regrets, leaving nothing unsaid. Because unfortuately I have lost some loved ones with no warning.

No, I don't think I would really like to know, although if you did know you might have the time to make some things right. To make some appoligies that needed to be made. Or do something that you always wanted to do and couldn't find the time. I don't want to die right now, but I am not afraid of dying because I know I would be going to a better place.

In a way yas and in a way no. I would tell everyone I knew and that would make everyone sad, and I would like to know so I could do stuff before I die, I want to see my baby sister graduate. But I am a christian so I don't want to die, I want to be raptured, and have the Lord Jesus take me home.

Yes because if you know when you are going to die you will know you will be able survive everything in that 'in between period' thus you will be able to live the rest of your life without any fear.

I might want to know a few days beforehand just to finish things up, but I wouldn't want a lot of lead time. I just wouldn't want to wake up every morning thinking, "just 5932 more days...."

No, because I'm not going. Or if I do know, I will be kicking and screaming all the way.
