know your date of death? Would that enrich life or impoverish it?

That is a bloody good question. Wow, much better than the drivel we normally get in these parts.
I think I'd like to keep it as mysterious as it is at the moment. I already try to live life to the fullest, and it would stress me out and make me scared and anxious if I knew death was just around the corner. I'd rather not know it was coming.

I think it could do more of the impoverishing than enrichment. While I think I would do more things that I have put off that I might enjoy... I think I would do more work to ensure that my friends and family are taken care of thus not enjoy myself and my family before my death.

Erm I can see both sides. I personally would like to know, 'cos that'd give you loads of freedom in your life. Although it'd be weird counting down the clock (albeit no different from not knowing).
Not knowing... well that's normal so...
I think it'd enrich it. Imagine having a dying party the day before you die. It'd change funerals for one. But then it'd also kill the proverb "live everyday as if it was your last"
(update) It'd be brilliant. You could do everything you want to do, instead of worrying about money etc. Just do it! Instead of a partial effort of living each day.... blah blah blah.
But then not knowing is fine too.

I would rather not know my date of death, I worry enough about things as it is without adding that to my worries, life is short enough as it is so make the most of it while you can.

Sure. Then I could save on my insurance, and still make a killing at the end for my family!

Yes. I would not drive that way on that date.
