if you were to know the day of your death..

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by xxixxi on Monday, February 10, 2014 and has 25 replies.
so last weekend, I was visiting my mother's place and whilst we were sitting on a sofa after dinner, mother said:
so if you were to know the day of your death..well, if I were to know the day of my death..then I'd be able to ready myself more for the last day..like, I would be able to sort out things, prioritize things, too, and such..
to that, I said:
well, I don't know, mom..but if I were to know the day of my death, I think..I would be more thinking like 'so I'm going to die on dd/mm/yyyy .. and it's fixed no matter what I do.. so why would I care much to accomplish much till the last day?
mother said:
but then every human dies..you know it, I know it, every one knows it..yet, the knowledge does not deter us humans from trying things, fulfilling things..living our lives in a meaningful way..
and maybe things could be more meaningful, if one knew their last day..I think..I'd like to prepare myself for my own death..
I said:
hmmm..but mom, you sound like your death day would be just a peaceful death on bed, drawing out the last breath whilst you're asleep..but let us think..that is not the only way us humans die..we die of illnesses..accidents.. so say, if you knew that you'd die of a very painful disease on a certain day..or of a very horrible vehicle accidents.. would you still think the knowledge would help you live your life in a better way? .. I don't know..I think it'd bring out pessimism in us.. you know, sometimes I think, before I go to bed - tomorrow I may not awake from my sleep..or even when I do, I may meet some accidents and die right on the spot .. maybe it's a bit morbid thought..for someone, who, relatively considered young..like me thinking this way..but people die at young age, old age, or any age..
mom said:
you've got a point there..you were right..when I was talking about 'my last day', I was only thinking about that peaceful kind of death..
I said:
it's silly, sometimes..before I go to bed, I think about what I'm going to do tomorrow..but in fact, I never know - if I'm going to greet that tomorrow..needless to say - I speak of future..a month from now, a year from now..even a decade from now - but who guarantees that I would actually live to see those days?
I think, it's funny..us humans are quite arrogant - think everything in our terms - my terms .. as if, this existence of us, of myself would last for ever..
also it's funny..how optimistic we are..I am..I said just a few minutes ago that I, fro
details

also it's funny..how optimistic we are..I am..I said just a few minutes ago that I, from time to time, think about how I would not open my eyes again the next morning..but there are so many more times, I jut slip between the sheets and thinking of the next morning for granted - even never doubt .. but then it's probably me being young.. I have heard people who're old, like in their 80s..they doubt alot about that coming tomorrow, the next morning..
mom said:
but then if we constantly fear (our own) death - then we will be unable to live..we'd lose every minute, hours in a fear of dying some day..so we don't think about death like we think about sleep, food, and love/sex..we push the thought away..ah, but as I age, I become more aware of it - to be honest, I did not think on death much when I was younger..but it seems you think about that more than the average..

and mother stopped there, because she thinks that the reason (why I think about death often - or oftener than others around my age) has something to do with her (..which may or may not be true, I'd say)

so, what do you think?
if you were to know the day of your death.. would it help you live your life more fully? or would it make your life (or everything) nihilistic? would it rob us of optimism? or would we be rather more optimistic?

If I knew the day of my death, I would prepare those around me for being without me. As a mother, that is the first thing I think of, and likely what your mother was thinking as well.
If I were to die tomorrow, I fear that my son would be lost without me. (He's 10). It also is likely to be a big burden on my family financially right now, although I have life insurance to cover most of the cost, and I also don't have any big debts, I still have bills that would need to be paid.
But anyway, if I knew I was going to die tomorrow, I could get things in order. I could ask my son and the Scorp if they know what to do about x,y,z. I'm not worried about them knowing I love them. Because I literally tell them at least once a day.
I always say I should get a will together and a plan for my death. But I don't, because I feel like my death is not imminent. My ex-husband (Gemini sun/ Pisces moon) was always talking to me about my life after his death. Like he'd say, "I put more money on my life insurance so if I die in a motorcycle accident, you and the boy don't have to worry." It really used to bother me. I didn't want to think about him dying. I felt like talking about it or preparing for it to happen would cause it to happen somehow.

seriously my death wouldnt be missed as I have died but have come back and everyone around here hates me due to some issues with my mother and father and family and such and due to them having it in for me and so they can justify their own hate toward me by having me die which I had done previous and then now because i have come back they are like what the fuck? Does she remember anything? In answer to that its noone of your business and you all can get fucked whoever had part in it and had non good intentions I know who you all are, for those with good intentions and had part in it and the ones who didnt know I thank you all.
Because of this happening I have now choosen Life and am going to Hell and I couldnt be happier either.
Also that descent movie doesnt scare me because its Evils problem and they have to deal with what they have made and take responsibility for what they have made for the world hence why i hate Evil they presume they are innocent when they are dead guilty of it all. The funny thing is that they tried to get me on their side and FAILED big time! HAHA, nice try, thanks alot! Yeh because of their hatred of me they killed me and now because of that I get to go on a journey with Life to Hell, and I cant wait but i will and I am so happy about that.
For once in my life something has gone right, thanks be to God! I am now certified and labelled 'BAD' and so have been immunised myself due to Evils doing against Evil and this has now allowed one last Hope for Humanity against Evils doing/s in this world and others.
Get Fucked you Evil Tards!!!

i believe there is a reason we do not know when we??ll die in general.
i think our little pea brains would explode having this knowledge.


Oh god yes...the anticipation would be horrible. I would probably kill myself first, before I die.

I might be weird comparing it to another deadline. Procrastinate til the last day of being alive and then cram all the things.
Hmmm... doesn't sound too odd when I think about it isn't that how it usually goes Tongue

I had a funny dream 15 years ago. I was enquiring about some person.........someone told me that he has died and showed me his grave.
I was preparing to leave, when someone said to me: "By the way, you'll be buried in the same cemetery!"
"Oh great, could you please show me my grave as well?" I asked...............And then I've seen it.
On the stone it was written my name, my date of birth, and also 22.12.2062.
I assume this is the date of my death.

yes, I have somewhat similar thought..
but then I don't know..with the progress in technology & science..we are somewhat able to predict a bit about future..like, with certain hereditary genes, some people have a higher risk of getting certain disease..maybe some day, we will be able to tell the exact day which we'll catch certain illnesses and become sick..but then probably by then, we will likely be able to cure them or prevent them beforehand? .. we may will be able to draw out some sort of profiles - which person will more likely to meet certain vehicle accidents or others similar to those caused by their carelessness..based on their past behaviours..and innate traits/characters.. and probably one will be able to improve the chance of survival.. but then we need to consider outside factors.. so even if we improve ourselves, there are some x-factors out there which we will never be able to control.. unless we ourselves become some slaves to some higher hierachy..
but then there are people who are terminally ill, and told they've got a few weeks to months to live.. and those, their little pea wee brains deal with that information..

Oh sorry just a thing of mine! Wondering if there's a connection between prophetic dreams and a dull palette in dreams or black and white.

wow if i knew what day i was going to die i would probably do a lot of crack cocaine, heroin, meth. star in several low budget pornos, throw my shoes at the president, hijack a few cargo ships, impregnate clueless, sell my kidney, destroy many cell phone towers as possible, dump miley cyrus and kim kardashian in the middle of the alaskan wilderness. steal body armour, guns, ammunition, and hit a large bank. i don't think one bank would be enough.

Ah! Not sure I ever dream in black and white.
Prophetic dream? Wait to see what happened to it next:
I made a comment about my "date of death" to the person who showed me the gravestone. He wasn't pleased.
"You were not supposed to read it!" he said.
I wanted to ask why, but I did not because I became fascinated with what was happening on the gravestone. The numbers become to change/recombine with each other! Unfortunately, the process was not finished when I woke up, so I don't know if I've ended with a different date of death!
Anyway, I woke up with the uncomfortable feeling that I had to look after a 90 years old grandma, the grandma being myself smile! And that was a few days before I was embarking on an adventure holiday in a foreign land. "C'mon, grandma, no place for your tablets and pills, I'm traveling light as usual smile!"
details
Definitely gets me thinking smile Really interesting dream!
One would almost guess there's no set time for our parting! Maybe you stumbled upon the gravesite of all things! And grandma? Not while the souls are still young!

so..in your case..knowing the day of your death..mostly would bring negative effects on others (and including yourself with some listed items above lol) .. (except a few things..? depend on how you think about your president? lol and about miley cyrus and k.k.?)
I don't know..
now I've this feeling that you should not know the day of your death lol.. jk..

As a vampire, I thought about this question smile.
Well, if the transfused blood is incompatible with your blood type, it will make the blood cells stick to each other, clogging small vessels and cutting oxygen supply to the organs. Should be quite painful, even for an immortal vampire.
If the transfused blood is compatible with yours, it will not quench your hunger, unless it's coming for a person who had a copious meal about one hour before they donate it, and therefore the fat, protein and sugar from that meal are found in their blood!
Ingested blood cells are useable as food (not the transfused ones), because they get digested to basic molecules (fat, protein and sugar) in the stomach and intestines, molecules which will then be absorbed into the blood to be used as building material and energy for cells.

If you were to know the day of your death, what you would do would probably reveal who you truly are.

hehe interesting..
actually I've had another question (which I forgot to write the last time lol)
what about a vamp drinks, then, blood of a person which hiv?
vampires are said to be immortal, so what kinds of effects would hiv have on said vamp? :o

"vampires are said to be immortal, so what kinds of effects would hiv have on said vamp? "
It may become contaminated and spread the virus to kept-alive victims, like the anopheles mosquito spreading the malaria parasite.
