I am stunned by the answers I have gotten. I would SOOOOO want to know-for the very same reason you have written that you would not want to know!

Yeah, I don't get Bella, and Adam, Felicity, small, who answered before me either. They are responding as if death is an either or. I mean they are still going to die. And I say YES. I would absolutely want to know. I could be sure to do all the things I want to do and not worry about having to save money. The way it is now, I will probably die with money in the bank, but if I knew when I was dying, I could spend it before my bodily departure and I wouldn't be wasting my time idly. I'd actually be inspired and motivated to live more fully if I knew when the shop was closing. So, I wish I had that time of death information. I am now frustrated because it is, unfortunately, just a fantasy!

There was a movie which suggests that "To be able to know when is the exact date and time and place of your death could be the greatest power you'd ever receive." If ever it is a fact that there is someone who could actually predict his death, it is still not logical to say that it is an advantage to have that power. The thought of the movie is that, there is a chance for you to change the future by simply avoiding the factors that could most likely trigger your death.. But, it was totally erroneous.. Because if ever you had the power to predict death, then that just means that it is certain that you will die in that exact date... You would just bother yourself thinking of death... It is simply stated in the statement, "There is no escaping death... whether you know or not, when that time would come..."

I definately wouldn't want to know, I'd like to think that the future is far from formed, so every day in our life brings new possibilities and is full of potential rather than just following a path that is set out for me like a horse being led on by an apple on a string.

yes and no! because knowing when you will die should not cange the way you live. If it does change it, then it means that you have problems with you'r life, it means that you are not "walking" the right path.
Conclusion: I do not care if ill ever know that, because knowing it will not change the way I live.Not even if I know that I die tomorrow. I will still wake at 8:00 am, go to work and so on...

We all know death is certain. That should really kill all initiatives and enthusiasm. But it is not so. The reason is that even though death is certain, its timing is uncertain and not known to anyone around. That is what gives us hope to live duly with enough motivation and enthusiasm.
My answer should be clear ....... I would not want to know when I will die because I want to live properly as long as my life is there.

Every time I get sick I am convinced I am dying, and it really stresses me out, so I would definitely want to know in advance when my death will occur because then I don't have to worry about dying any more when I am ill. I'll know when it's going to happen. Sounds like a fabulous idea! So, where do I sign up?

I had a reading by a woman many years ago..... and she told me that I would near my 80 years when I shall meet the end.....
And you know what?..... That matters not to me... because I am content that the end shall be......
It doesn't matter what I take to prolong my life, or what exercises I shall do to increase my health, nor does it matter the foods that enter my body, nor the smog of the air that are inhaled in my lungs.......
The end shall come irregardless of time..... even if I do not know...

Your life is precious and why u want to think of death, first of all change ur mind, because life is give to enjoy and not of thinking death.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Only the body(flesh) has death but of ur Spirit and the soul won't die in this world, so don't bother abt ur death in flesh.
