Imagine you were given the opportunity to know the future of your life. Would you want to know? I would either way. If I live to 80 great, then I know to let everything sink in slowly. If I find out I will die at 35 (30 now) then I will fucking party until it's 1999.

Would you want to know?

True · « **Reply #1 on:** July 24, 2012, 02:38:16 PM »

No. And I wouldnt change a thing either way. I am happy the way I live now, and will always live this way. There are some things that could been better, like having a GF for instance, but that is of course things Im working on anyways, so that doesnt matter. But I could care less when I die, its all about making the best out of it each day while your still here. Just take it for what its worth.

Yes

What if it is a horrible death? Like a BBC up your ass that punctures a vital organ. Remember, even though you know your fate, you can't change it.

In that case, no. Cause I'd worry the whole time till it happened.

Would you rather be hopeful or hopeless? Aeschyles' Prometheus Bound spins a tale of how mortals once had foreknowledge of their deaths until Prometheus, who, out of his love for mankind, wanted to mitigate such fatalism by ushering in "blind hope:"

PROMETHEUS
[250] Yes, I caused mortals to cease foreseeing their doom.
CHORUS
[251] Of what sort was the cure that you found for this affliction?
PROMETHEUS
[252] I caused blind hopes to dwell within their breasts.
CHORUS
[253] A great benefit was this you gave to mortals.

Outed. A simple yes or no would suffice.

I only want to know the day I'm going to die so I can delete the gigs of porn I have on my computer beforehand so my gf and family don't find it.

Depends, if I find out that I'll die at 95...that means I could theorically go play in traffic and survive.
And if I find out that I'll die tomorrow, I might sequester myself in a room and wait my fate....or go play in traffic.

Yes i would like to know.

And if someone said, you will live until you're 100 years old, i would jump in front of a train.

Just in spite of the Prophecy.

The problem is that knowledge if this kind would effect or change your life style and habits therefore rendering the knowledge invalid.

Suicidal thoughts at times but too chicken, this whole world sucks right now.

That's why prophecies, foresights and visions of the future are crap no?

Shizz, I figured we were the same age by the type of posts you write. I to have these same ideas, I think because a few years ago I realized my mortality. I always knew I guess, but never really thought of it until a few years ago, and now it haunts my subconscious. Weird.

well, that is when fate comes into play. But i believe that if any singular person would gain this type of knowledge, their actions would change it. for example, you learn that you will live to be a 100. ok, why not eat junk food?, and start taking risk? Hell, became batman, because no one would be able to kill you. tho maybe you will give cause your quality of life to suffer. and get crippled or something.

If you were from Ancient Greece you could trade in one of your eyes to know such things.
