uncertainty of the date and time of death is the reason for many to force people to be dishonest,selfish etc. Had the time been known one would do good things to offset the misdeeds committed earlier if any

You think so, but for those who don't believe at all it would be hell on earth. They would choose to run up credit cards, steal form others, take whatever they want whenever they want because they would know they'd soon be dead anyway.

Actually, the time is sort of fixed. Man's time here is between 70 to 125 yrs. providing all goes well. So there is a sort of time limit. I do not agree with you in saying that this is the reason man is dishonest. Men are dishonest for several reasons. Being cowardly can be one reason. If some people knew when they were going to die, they would commit suicide just to get the stress, or depression of the approaching date over with. Not all would do good things with their time. Some would, some woudn't.

Uncertainty does not create dishonesty nor selfishness. That is a choice you make in life. You know the difference between good and bad...so you are the one that is in charge of how you will proceed. We are of free will here on earth and are given those choices. As for death...would you really want to know your time? You may do irrational and even harm to yourself and/ or others around you do to that your sanity may be lost. The closer you get to your time, the more anxious you will be. Not knowing your time is a safety of mind and spirit my kind friend. Be good to yourself and stop worrying about the end of life. Live for today as a gift, cause you don't know when walking out that door what life will give you.

People do good things and are kind to others because that is what humans do. Some people don't do good things and are not kind for various reasons, none of them valid. People get confused and make mistakes.
Time or the awareness of their death has nothing to do with their behavior.
Trying to fine a rule that will fit everyone is a waste of your time.
Caring about others is never a waste of time.

I agree. We should be born OLD and grow younger. Ending our life in the womb. Wouldn't that be freaking awesome?
You are born old and decrepit. You get healthier as you get younger. You experience your retirement, and live your life to it's fullest. Then you go to work, and support your family and way of life. Until you are young again. And then you live with your parents and goof off for the rest of your life. All the while getting better and better looking, and feeling. Then you get to be a child and look at the world through new eyes. Until the day they put you back into the womb. AAAAh... what a life that would be

this may be because some people can or may sometimes feel their death coming but these rude, disrespectful,insubordinate,disruptive people may be in suspense because it was something they did and they haven't went back to the Lord and asked for his forgiveness so if are 1 of those kinds of people i beg you to ask the Lord God your Father for His forgiveness and when you ask Him, make sure you are ready for the commitment you are going to make towards Him

Hmm. I dont think so - if people knew the time of their death they would be more likley to do anything to avoid it, including murder. We'd live in a even more insane world then we do now.

people who lose their integrity...they do not depend it on whether they know when they'll die or not...they just do those things for main purpose of pleasure...
some do bad things out of necessity...because there is no other choice..
death does not contribute much on how people act...
