If you knew you had one week to live, what would you do?

Question

I want to hear answers other than spend time with loved ones... like if there was something you've always wanted to do but never had the guts to, what would it be? things like that

Answer 1

well...
I've been bungee jumping
I've had sex before
i see my loved ones every day or talk to them on the phone
I've made so good friends and lost some too
I've eaten some things for fun that would make others gag
I've read some really great books in my 32yrs
seen some good movies
I've lived though tornadoes and hurricane Rita being right in the middle of them
i watched my god daughter being born
i watched my mother die
so i think....
I'd find a nice quiet place on a lake i know and spend the week watching every sunrise and sunset with one more good book and a good margarita and just watch how the wind plays on the lake since spending time with my family isn't an option

Answer 2

If I have one week to live - of course I will spend time with all my loved ones, friends, and friends I have not contacted for a long time -

BUT...

I would probably -

1) eat until I'm satisfied since I no longer need to worry about getting fat or getting heart diseases.
Go for buffets, all sort of food! Chocolates!

2) Have my fun at theme parks - go sky diving, go bungee... since I never had a chance because they are terrifying!!

3) learn more new things - like drive a plane, drive a train, drive a ship
Since I'm dying, they should probably have no reason to reject letting me try!!

4) spend my nights out - havoc nights...
everyday have to worry whether if I can wake up in time the next day... now who cares!!

5) travel the world
How can I die without seeing the world?!

Answer 3

Find the TROLLS on this site, and all these people that have thumbs downed each and every answer- Geesh, everyone has a good answer. By the way, I THUMBS UPPED the ones who got the THUMBS DOWN! :-)

I'd do a Thelma and Louise and go out with a bang, not a whimper!

Answer 4

I would pick 7 places that fascinate me and go to one each day! 6 new ones and 1 that ive done before and enjoyed so much i want to do it again! Id like to go to the grand canyon, niagra falls, the rain forest, and i would try to make a difference in someones life so my legacy would live on. I would tell everyone exactlly what I think and not hold back, and I would cry all 7 days because I am scared of death. I would pray alot and make sure my family knows I love them. i would make sure to say good bye to everyone that is dear to me.... I would buy a lambourgini and get as many tickets as I could possibly rack up in an entire day... i would find the tallest building go to the top and scream to the top of my lungs... and i would not sleep for all seven days...

Answer 5

I would do what I am doing now (Bhakti Yoga) Self realization) in a nut shell-
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. I am so glad I am prepared.

Answer 6

Continue to live the way I'm living today. Since I turned 50 and really found Christ (never knew I had lost Him), I am more vocal about what's good in life and what's not good. Used to be I would ignore those around me. Now I try to engage them in a conversation without getting "saved again" about it. Usually I find something in their conversation that leads me to ask "and why did you do that?" Then I try to steer them to think about the good or bad behavior about their action. I've always wanted to be a priest but never could.

Answer 7

I'd get all my affairs in order so I wouldn't leave a big mess.

Get my possessions doled out.

Find homes for all my animals and plants.

I do the stuff I want to do in my life every day, so I don't have some big dramatic thing to do...Maybe be sure I tell everyone who is important to me that I love them...

Answer 8

I would like to bust a couple people straight in the mouth for having a big one and can't never shut up. I mean after all I'm not going to make it to the court date :)

Answer 9

I would dispose of all material things by giving them to people
who would best need them and by way of a living will. If there
are people you knowingly offended or shortchanged in the past, go mend them. Ask friends and loved ones to pray for you to the end. Prepare yourself spirtually to accept what fate
awaits you and pray yourself.

Answer 10

i would go bunjey jumping (i dont think thats how you would spell it but you get the point) go sky diving, and ride in a hot air balloon. You only have a week to live, whats the difference if you die sooner. You're still going to die. You might as well go out with a bang.
