If someone gave you an envelope with your death date inside of it, would you open it?

[naughty_cat]

I mean like your real death date...


for me, ( yes)

no, I prefer to live without knowing

yes, so I can do more good things

[hellionthesagereborn]

If I cannot stop it then no. I don't want to live the rest of my life knowing that its predestined, I wouldn't want to live my life fighting something only to find out that I inadvertently caused it to happen (as many greek myths have happen (the very act of trying to avoid ones fate is the catalyst that causes it). Besides which its not going to change anything.

[Emay71]

Well yes I would open it, but no I wouldn't do I can do more good things, just so I tie up loose ends and leave nothing undone.

[SweedyPie]

Nope. I do not care to know. Also... plot twist: What if by opening it, you sealed your fate for that date! By not knowing maybe you could still avoid/ change it. Just by knowing you might cause it to happen by having anxiety and acting silly.

I would not want the weight of death while living. Let me live happily and in peace until whenever my time comes.

[courtney06]

Yes even though it would terrify me. That way I can plan accordingly and know not to waste my time with. As terrified as I am of death, I also look forward to it. I would love to study the Art of Dying at some point. I heard it's taught somewhere in Asia.

[sapphireruby]

What if knowing your cause of death is ultimately what causes it. So you find out you will die in a car crash so you walk on the grass and pay super close attention to the cars on the roads and don't notice the car coming out of the driveway.

[dreamstar72]

I voted no, it might be a great idea at first to know the date you will die, BUT when you get close to your death day you are going to wish you never knew.

[pewdiepie_]

Yes, I will definitely open it. Why?
If don't open does it mean death will not occur on that specific day? It will happen right? But if I open then I van be more prepared and can do more thing when I am alive.

[KieranByrne]

I'd say no. Like the idea of not knowing, have had many times where having knowledge of something/ or a particular item/person etc has makes me feel 🤢.

[call_me_scar]

No I'm good knowing something like that would not only take away the fun of living but would only worry me

[Bananaman177]

[Boppy]

ahem.. meme

[Reach500]

Absolutely. It would be good to know how much time I have

[chris0977]

Yes. I don't fear death and it might make me more productive.

[LaVillaStrangiato]

Absolutely - then I would know exactly when to take out a loan and get wasted with illegal drugs and hot, Las Vegas hookers.

[Guardian45]

I'd instantly create that bucket list, and live everyday to the fullest until I die.

I'm NOT just keeling over dead. I'm sliding into my coffin kicking and screaming right up until they slam the lid shut and nail me in... or I'll come back!

[colloqull]

No i wouldn't coz i will to things limited to that timeline rather than living the best and healthiest life

[rachelle_1900]

Yes, so I know how much time I have left and kinda hate surprise and not knowing stuff

[the_sinner]

Definitely!
I need to complete all the things in my bucket list before I die.

[lernulo]

Yes, I prefer not going to things I'm not going to finish, furthermore, so I could leave my job 3 years before and live without chains.

[DWornock]

That is impossible unless it is a planned execution.

[jamie1243]

Ur a doorknob man

[Haelaeix123]

No I wouldn't, I genuinely don't care when I die

[Guanfei]

Yes, so I can finally how much I failed at life.

[_SOARER_]

I dont need to know

[Gedaria]

Be something to live to, go out in glory...

[Hogoblin_of_Venice]

I wouldn't do >good< things.

[Anonymous]

Yes, so I can prevent it
