Say you knew the day of your death....?

I would celebrate my deathday every year because it just seems apropriate. Death does not scare me but I wouldn't want to know the way I would die. It would make me live a better and more complete life. My birthday is on holloween so I would kinda want my deathday to be on a holiday too.

Your question takes some very deep, inner exploration. It's a simple question if skimmed on the surface. But I can't do that. First, I wouldn't want to know the day of my death, anymore than I want to know what will "happen" at any time in my future. I FEEL this would alter me in a way that I'd no longer "flow" with life as I do. I don't mean lack of direction, I mean HARMONY. I feel I'm living the best, most complete & full life that's possible right now. I know I have an expiration date! & that doesn't frighten me, although certainly, like everyone, I hope I "go" peacefully. I have this theory that this very moment in time is my "immortality" & I treasure it. (Whether I believe in an after-life or not, this is my "now" life.)

I would just as a reminder of when it comes to an end.

Well, if I know the exact date I will perish, I will actually have a count down timer to remind me how much time left everyday when I wake up. So that I can cherish every moment I am still alive.

The thought does not scare me.

The thought of knowing the when expires make me even more secure because I can do much better planning of my live and time.

I will say I will be more proactive and complete.

I wouldn't celebrate it, but I would acknowledge it. Why fear what is inevitable? None of us are going to live forever, therefore it's a date that will make us all obscure and historic, some more than others!

If I knew precisely when I'd check out, I'd have one helluva party the night before and leave a trail of wreckage and mayhem behind not soon to be forgotten!

I would awknowledge it, but I wouldn't throw parties. However I think everyone has a rough estimate of how long they will live (my guess from how old my family members lived to is about 80 ish and up so I always figure about how many decades old I am and how many I have left to actually do something with my life lol) So ya , I think everyone uses a gage of approx how long they have left.
