Do u wanna know?

I received a question from a fren on FB and he posed me this question:

Would you want to know the date of the day on which you’ll die?

As for me, I tend to look at in two ways. Bad and Good.
I would say yes, simply because if I knew when I was going to die I would most likely look at my life in a whole different sense. Actually I know i would. I mean come on someone says your going to die on lets say Oct 5th,2009. You would just be like "Whoaaaa…stop the train." and just think about stuff and I think it would really make someone look at their motives, ambitions, and goals in a whole new light. I think they would really look deep down to it and think about what is most important to them and I think that they would do whatever it took to reach it.

And I would say No, because I honestly dont want to know when I am going to die. I feel that I am doing the most i can with my life and the time i have been given. And lets be serious, life is not handed to you, it is a priviledge in my eyes. And I think that if you really do charish life you will do the best you can and you will strive for what you want out of life. Because I know I would be leaving so much and so many people behind whom I love and care deeply for, and it would break my heart.

Some other people however, would want to know so they could cherish their time with them, and i mean i guess in a sense i would too you know. But for me, im fine and content living my life day to day, to the fullest extent possible. And i will keep doing so, and if the time comes when i die, then it happens. Its life, you lose people and gain people everyday, you just have to make the choice to strive in whatever u do no matter what.

Thanks for the question! It was a good! I reckon one of the greatest mistakes we make in life is to focus on our losses and forget that we gained something in the first place. There are no guarantees in this life. The only certainty is the good fortune we’ve had in just being born.
