Lets say you had to choose between:
Living a wonderful fullfiling life but dying a horrible death (murder, ect.) Or...
Living a poor life, struggling ect. and die in your sleep
Which would you choose, and why?

I wouldn't give up a wonderful, fulfilling life just to be able to die in my sleep. The most horrible death is not going to last as long as a wondeful life. My murder would be over in a matter of minutes and the freak who killed me would rot in Hell anyway so it's all good.

Achilles chose to die young in battle and have glory forever. In Hades, Odysseus ran into a chastened Achilles who said who would rather die a very old man and live as a slave to a slave than to have made the choice he made. Think that sums it up for me, too.
Even if my death was at the hands of a Bundy type, that is, lingering and involving torture, I wouldn't trade away a happy life for a sad life to avoid that death.

you have some nerve, how old are you? do you think that because people are poor they cannot have a wondrful life? what constitutes a wonderful to YOU having money? . I am not well off, but I have people I love and who love me in return I have birthed 3 beautiful human beings, I am an aunt and grandmother to precious innocent life. How dare you judge my life as not being wonderful . you should only be so lucky and blessed as i. keep your money if thats what you call a wondeful life you are half dead already anyway

Not if I couldn't change it if I did't like it. Tee Hee I would rather live the wonderful life, the dying is only momentary.

Either way is fine with me...all of us will die anyway...as for knowing when, where and how I am going to die...it would be an added bonus but not of significant importance...

I wouldn't choose either and take my chances. Knowing when and how I would die would put to much stress on me and boggle my mind.
