I'm not really worried about dying anymore. I've been in several different situations where, each time, I thought, "This is it, it's my time." And then, obviously, I didn't die.
So I don't really worry about Tomorrow anymore. I learn from my Yesterdays, so I can do my best not to repeat my mistakes. I immerse myself in Today and the people I love and care about. And I am secure in the knowledge that even though I don't know what Tomorrow brings I feel like I'm ready for it.
When it's my time it's my time and there's nothing I will be able to do about it.
But I'm not going to spend my life waiting for it to find me, I'm going out there to find it. :)
I hope that's what you're looking for in an answer.

Things are always changin, thats how time works. Everything you do changes what happens later. If you know now when you were going to die you would probably not do what you were doing at the time of death, which means you would just die at another time and you knowing when you were going to die would be a lie in the first place. So you could never know for sure how you were going to die

Good one. It would be tempting but I wouldn't want to know. It's enough for me to know that I AM going to die someday. I live each moment now as if it was my last. I try to get present & live fully in this moment, n squeeze as much life n laughter out of every second of the day as I can, so it really doesn't matter knowing when I would die.

yes that would be extremely welcome...although i would prefer to know that i WILL die, at all.
it's a funny thought but you know...death has been so elusive and unsightable personally that i really started to question whether there is death at all.
it's never happened to me before. so what reason do i have to believe that it will actually occur? people tell me it will happen...but hey..who believes people? i'll believe it when i see it.
but sure... give me a holler when you find out when i'm going to die.

Hm, I don't know. Part of me would, because then I can do everything I've always wanted to do before hand. But then again, I wouldn't want to know because I would feel depressed. The thought of dying soon is upsetting, I think.

Yes,so I could make every second count.I would spend as much time as I could with family and do all the things I say I am going to do but don't ever get to.

No way. That would be like knowing a long awaited vacation is going to end...you will dread the outcome.

Yes. Knowing things that others don't always put you in a position of power no matter what it is.
