The Envelope of Life

[Broncoholic JS]

If you're handed an envelope with month, day and year you're going to die. Do you open it or throw it away???

I throw that thing as far as I can in a heartbeat!

EDIT: by the way! you should add a poll

Open it. In a heartbeat.

Well there is two ways of looking at it, 1. If you look then you know & can say goodbye to all of your family & loved ones but 2. Do you really want to know when your time is up?

If you know when you're gonna go it makes preparing and such a lot easier. And though it really shouldnt I imagine knowing when you are going to die puts an incentive on getting things 'done' before you reach your....deadline?

But at the same time if you knew such a thing i believe you would not be able to focus & to basicly live your life while still alive because it would constantly be on your mind stressing you out & dragging you down.

When you know you're going to die, you have to prepare

When you don't know, there is no preparing.

There are stages I am sure you would go through them like any normal human would. I don't know I always think of that song by Tim Mcgraw live like you were dying

I would sooner prepare.

I've thought about this many times before, whether I'd want to know when I'm going to die. Part of me says yes, part of me says no. I think I'd want to open the envelope, but I think in the end I'd be too afraid to. Don't know if that sounds weird or not.

You can prepare for the end without the knowledge of the exact time your going to pass.

I feel like if I knew when I was going to die that would give me a constant pressure of having to do things before then, even though I should be living life they way I want anyways and stress free already.

Either way, the last few months leading up to that moment I'm sure I would be going insane lol

[HUMCALC]

I'd open it and have the BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE EVER!

[bronx_2003]

NO WAY

Far too weird

What if it says in like 50 years time. Does that mean I'm invincible until that moment lol

I would sooner prepare.

I would sooner die knowing, in order to prepare.
