HI
I wouldn't have much time to live, thoughts are hard to control but now that I am older I let things slide more than when I was in my 20, 30, 40s

I would apply for a credit card of the highest value. Of course I'd get rejected and probably be in the hole a few lifetimes. If this was the case, I would try to negotiate future reincarnations in lieu of 5 minute debits.
If none of this was possible, which is probably the case, I'd condition my mind to only notice the good in people, thereby mitigating any chance of having negative thoughts about them.

I wouldn't do anything. If I think a negative thought, then there's nothing I can do about it, since I'd already thought it. Luckily, I don't think many negative thoughts...at the most, it'd probably add up to a week or two off of my life. Which isn't that bad in the long run.

They say the same thing about smoking cigarettes - each one shortens your life by 5 minutes. People still smoke. There is your answer.
Interesting question you pose though. Most find the threat of eternal damnation enough of a coercion to follow Christianity. I beleive that eternal damnation is a better fear motivator than the premature arrival of the end of your life - because none of us knowns when the end will come. So, whats five less minutes in the end? Eternity, in the long run, is a much better way of coercing people into following your beleifs.

Die a week ago Tuesday! LOL!!!
I wouldn't worry about it because I know it wouldn't happen. Some people deserve to be thought of in a negative fashion - like the rapist/murderer who was just convicted here recently. Should I think of him in a positive light? The only purpose he serves is to serve as a bad example.

I'd like to think that I'm already doing those things.
Seeing that negativity only makes one more frustrated, causing health problems, I try to remain as stress free as possible. And loving others as we love ourselves is the first step in doing so!
Hope this helped.

I would not worry about it because I would gain nothing doing so.And if one's life is that of habitually walking with Christ,it would be counterproductive to dwell on mistakes or sins that are an inevitable part of human existence.Lovey-dovey diatribe is nice,but I see no point in it.

I would start some kind of buisiness where people could place bets on who would die first between the members of the KKK and the followers of Islam!

I would probably die rather quickly. I think positively about everyone, but most people give me reason to change my mind within the first few seconds of opening their mouth.

I'd continue to think freely, regardless of the consequences. If I dislike someone there's a reason, it's not random.
I like being free, even if it cost me my life.
