Do you think everything you do effects your death date?

Question

Okay so I see this movie called "Sliding Doors" and the movie made me think what if Your death is just Gods will.What if everyones death is God's will.Do you believe that everything you do effects your death date(Putting on your seatbelt not putting on your seatbelt;making the train not making the train)?

Answer 1

Only what I eat, smoke and think affects my longevity.
YOU MEAN AFFECTS, NOT EFFECTS.

Answer 2

Death is coming to everything that lives and I think that we should live our life as best we can and learn as much as we can and not worry about when we are going to die. Why is it that some people walk away from an accident and some don't. We really don't know why anything happens, I just know that when our time comes then no matter what we do or don't do, our time is up and we die. We can take precautions to help keep us from getting hurt, like buckling our seat belts, but when it's our time to die, that seat belt wont keep us here. Missing a train that crashes only means that it wasn't your time to die. Taking the train that crashes and living through the crash means it wasn't your time to die, but if you did die, then it was your time to go.

Answer 3

Yes. According to existentialist thinking you are responsible for everything including your death date. In a series of decisions you are about to make (or have already made) you have narrowed (or expanded) the possible length of your life. Eventually your decisions and actions will catch up to you. It may not be as simple or direct as "you smoke, and you eventually die of cancer." It will likely be a small decision that was tied to a string of other decisions that will kill you.

Answer 4

If we focus on how our actions will affect our eventual death, then we're taking focus away from living fully now. How sad to get to the end of this life and realize that we haven't really lived.

Answer 5

The word is "affects", not "effects", and much of what I do is unlikely to affect it at all (such as what I am doing right now). As for activities that might affect it, I take some care to avoid exposing myself to unnecessary hazards. As for the notion of god's will, that is silly -- not because it is necessarily wrong, but because the notion is necessarily useless: it can predict nothing. (That, by the way, can be proved.)

Answer 6

What I eat as a diabetic effects my life and I know that I have to take care of the life that God gave me and the choices that I make

Answer 7

No. But walking in front of a moving train might affect your death date. Hmm?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes...but you'll never know what would have happened if you have left home this morning two minutes later or earlier,or didn't go to that party where you met your wife or best friend, never smoked that first cigarette 40 years ago

Answer 10

No. But I do believe that the place tha you are at, the sum total of your life, is affected by each and every decision you make.

Answer 11

If you believe in the Bible, even before we were born. God already set our time frame in this mortal life. date of our birth and death is already predetermined. But one thing I believe in, although we cannot prolong ourlives according to that time frame, but we can cut it short, due to free will.
