If you knew the date, time, and manner of SOMEONE ELSE'S death, would you tell that person? Why or why not?

Question

Elaborate, if you will please. Thank you.

Answer 1

I spose under some circumstances I might like if they asked, and then it would depend on our relationship. People have a tendency to shoot the messenger. Sticking ones nose where it does not belong has a teadency to result in getting bit on the A$$. If the person had a grudge against me then definately not. If it were my brother and he wanted to know I most likely would. If it was me gonna do the ending then for sure no. There are a few people I would let know anonamously, and then watch.

I once knew that in a super natural kind of way but was not sure until after it happened, and the person was gonna do something I thought might actually cause it and I mentioned I would not do that if I were him. He did it anyway.

I think that while some would like to know, most would not handle it well.

When I was a teen, I unloaded box cars. One day they were jockeying the cars around and the bee keeper next door to the tracks while trying to get some free sugar somehow got himself caught in the coupling of two cars. Crushed severely from just above the navel down. He was in no pain and the Drs. who came said he had no chance of survival once they became uncoupled. Oddly he was in no pain. His wife came over and he did his paperwork and said good bye to all. Never shed a tear and over all handled it very well I thought, and then because of some reason he told them to unhook the cars and pull ahead, at which time he dropped dead to the ground held by a coupla guys.

It was both erie as when he died you knew something left and he was no longer their, and yet somehow peaceful. Seeing death is not always like that.

Answer 2

An interesting question. My husband used to do detailed astrological charts for people and he stopped doing them after a women, who we liked a lot, had her chart done and it said she would be murdered. He did not put that in the chart he gave her.

I can tell when people are going to die by looking at them and it was something that helped me when I was a nurse but now, when I see it I don't say anything to the person. I will tell my husband about it. He believes me because when I have said this, the person dies soon after.

It is not our place to give bad news like this to people.

Answer 3

Well it can be a problem, if they were going to be killed yes. But if in a way if you knew how you were going to die and then I would raither as the time comes nearer your death if would have quite an effect on there mental health you do really want to see lots of people walking around sad in there final days.

Answer 4

You would tell them if it would make the rest of their time here easier, and give them time to get their affairs in order. If it would make the rest of their time here miserable, you would not tell them unless for some reason you thought they deserved to be miserable.

Of course there could be a lot of other reasons to do one or the other depending on circumstances. Some people might tell them in effort to get a will made, to get money signed over to them, to get organs donated, to get the dying one to kill a third party for them, or any number of selfish reasons.
Some of these might even be good reasons, but I'll stick by the basic rule of "do no harm" as a good one to follow.

Answer 5

Depends on who it was. If they were famous, I'd call my bookie and see about laying down a bet.

This happens to judges all the time, and they tell.

It would be possible to have a lot of fun with that sort of information.

We all croke it sooner or later, don't take it so seriously.

Answer 6

I wouldn't confront them and tell them flat out... that's a good way to make someone think you're crazy and most likely get hauled off somewhere in which case the guy would still die. Rather i would try to befriend this person and coax them into an activity that removes them from the harmful situation.

Answer 7

I have found with some situations you cant change everything in the line your headed. but a slight change can still save someones life.

So i would try and make a small difference.
for example. .if he is going to get hit by a truck at a certain time of day while driving his car..
Maybe a flat tire caused by me.. would delay him..
a small change might cause him to get a dent in his car instead of a loss of life.

Answer 8

Such a morbid question. No, I would not tell the person for the fear that they would worry themselves to death. That is the same reason that our heavenly father doesn't tell us the date and time of our own demise, he does however tell us that it will happen one day. That's all the information I need to know for now.

Answer 9

no i wouldnt
i have had ... hhmm some things like this before
and i have confided in my mum on a few occasions as she understands me and is confidential
but i would never ever tell the person concerened
what use would it be to worry them ?
they could not change things but it would leave their little time here unhappy
what i would do is make sure i make them as happy as i could knowing what i know

Answer 10

I would not. It would be too great of a responsibility. It would involve explaining how you knew and convincing them and dealing with them vaccilating between believing you and not. It would involve their wrath possibly, "Why did you tell me?" Overall a real pandora's box.
