If you could find out the year you die would you want to know?

[coachTanthony]

Yes of course

Hell no

Have you ever heard of optimizing your life?

It means optimizing how you are spending your time, making sure that you are treating every single minute of it as a precious moment.

People work their entire lives to accumulate wealth money and assets with the hopes of retiring some day and living comfortably. So, you spend your entire youth working, and you keep working, and working. At what point do you quit and start putting all those assets and things you have accumulated to enjoying living?

You work until your 60 or 70 and now you have all this wealth, but your too old to do the things that you could have done in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. How much more could you have enjoyed or done, if you would have started using that wealth sooner to optimize your life? Do more and achieve more happiness instead of wealth.

Now the problem is none of us know how much wealth we need, because none of us know how long we are going to live. So, I would want to know because then I could start spending all the money and achieve my maximum optimalisation.

So, this question really boils down to this, would spend all your money and do all that you could do, if you knew you were going to die in 10 years, 5, next month, week or tomorrow? Because by the time you find out you are dying tomorrow it's too late to change how you lived your life.

I'm hopeful of dropping dead, at 100, or having a massive heart attack skin diving in 100 feet of water in the Northern part of Norway in the Fjords, also at age 100

[electromagnetic]

Probably not because of what the future has to hold. I’d rather live in ignorance until then knowing every day could be my last rather than a living every moment dreading what’s to come in whatever year it may be.

Seems like being diagnosed with a terminal illness and hoping to have enough time to say goodbye to everyone.

[dustybiker2]

I was given 6 weeks once.
They were wrong.

[Kingofkings1992]

Unfortunately wrong, right?

[dustybiker2]

Unfortunately?

[menina]

I actually thought about that a few months ago. Yes I would like to know, I think we should know that from the day we are born. That would allows us to make the most of our time. Most of us are living as if we're going to live forever, but unfortunately it's not like that. If we knew, that probably wouldn't happen.

[Keyboardkat]

That's like being an inmate on death row, knowing how many days you've got left! And every day, the guy in the cell down the hall taunts you, saying, "Hey man, you've got three days left!" And then, "Hey, man, you've got two days left!" No thanks. I think it was Woody Allen who said, "It's not that I mind dying, it's just that I'd rather not be there when it happens!"

[molonski2]

Yes , on the assumption that the date can't change , as if it was long time , I could have a great time , and if it were short time I could have a GREAT time..

I think the more interesting element would be what kind of nik you are in when it happens , thats probably more of it , who wants to be a dibbling mess sitting in a chair , quality of life , which could maybe be changed if you knew the date.

[sage2021]

Inquiring minds want to know. For me, it would be a blessing to know if I'm outta here soon.

America is so messed up and my boyfriend's recent death make me want to know how much longer will I have to be alive in a place I hate!

[IslaTheWitch]

no I want to live to the fullest WITHOUT counting days

[Siri137]

Yes, I think I would want to know, so that I could prepare for it during the days and weeks leading up to it.

[HawkPerception]

If it's the year, sure because it would give me the deadline to finish my goals and probably give me more haste. That's the gift of having limited time in life.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Maybe? So I’d know how many more years I have to do something helpful for my family and change something for the better.

[LaurenM1997]

no thanks I rather live a life that’s stress free and not live a life that will be stressed of how many days I’ve got left

[douride2]

I have been close to death 2-3 times in my life already. Twice I should never have survived. Hell no I don't want to know when I'm going. Live every day to it's fullest.

[Somoneelse]

I rather not know what the year would be. Then I would most likely not live to my fullest potentional knowing it will end in a certain period. I rather just live not knowing when it will end.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Probably not. Why would we want to know anyway?

[OfMiceandMen]

Yep, I could then be sure I get everything in I want to do in my life before my expiry date.

[shanshu]

By finding out the year you are going to die does not mean you won't die sooner or you are invincible till then, intact you've set a ripple out by knowing meaning by knowing it means your actions will be different from not knowing which could lead to you living longer than that year or sooner

[Unit1]

I don't care.

Tell me I will die on 12 October 2030 from aneurysm, it won't change anything for me now or later.

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t really care. If i know, i know. If i don’t, i don’t.
I’m almost certainly going to know at least a very close proximity to my expiration date anyway. At that point i can decide if i want to know exactly when or just wait and see.

[libsaretards]

No. If it is too far down the road, I'd dread knowing how much longer I must endure.

[exitseven]

Yes, then I could figure out how to spend the rest of my money.

[Likes2drive]

I really don’t like deadlines, that would be stressful always being on my mind knowing the year is coming

[Flatmanlewis]

I try and love & live like everyday is my last already, but no. I would not want to know the exact date. It would be very difficult to not impact decisions best left to their own course. .
