    i'm on the fence-it would be good to know so you can do all the things you wanted to before you die but it would be bad to know cuz there'd be pressure for you to do all those things you wanted-ie. if you had a few years left and wanted to get married and have kids, but were'nt dating anyone, it'd be hard to accomplish that in so little time-no guy wants all that pressure, and you'd be so stressed out you wouldn't be able to enjoy the rest of the time you had left. On the other hand, if you had 50 years ahead of you, it'd be good because you wouldn't have to worry about anything...it's a hard question to answer

    No, life is full of surprises, what's the point of living if you already knew how it would end? Nobody wants to know the ending of a movie or book before they've finished it, they want it to be a surprise. Besides, it's kinda morbid to know that you were going to die on this spot on this day...

    never! I don't want to know anything of the future! because if I knew what was going to happen to me everyday I would obsess over it and that would be on my mind always. I would be going over the happenings of my death, trying to find ways to avoid it or change it. I don't think anyone should know what the future has in store for them. Takes away the element of surprise. ^.~

  • Yes. If I had this information then I could avoid the circumstances that would lead to my death. Unless, of course, I knew I would die in my sleep in which case I would just write my will and lay me down to eternal sleep.

    What if I told you I do know when but not where. I wish I didn't know. As a child I had dreams of my life. Most have came true. The ones that didn't come true was only a poor interpretation by me. I dreamed of blue coming at me. I thought it was water but it was glass.

    I don't know that it's good to know the future.

    Nope. It would take all the fun out of the time I had left. I'd spend my time obssessing about it instead of taking advantage of what time I had left.

    No, I don't want to know. Let God take care this step for us. We live to the fullest and regard today as our last day in this earth. So we must be kind and be loved to one another !!!
