    Assume that sometime within the next hour, you are going to die. It will happen immediately and without warning. You have only one choice to make in the matter: Do you want to be made aware of your imminent death, or be allowed to live out your final minutes, blissfully ignorant to your fate? Why? I personally would prefer the latter, frankly because I feel that I'd rather live my last hour without fear. But, I can see where some would opt to tie up a few loose ends beforehand. Regardless, I'd like to hear your opinion on this if you'd be willing to share it.

    A friend of mine was saying if he were ever on a doomed flight, he would take the controls of the plane and ram it into the ground as fast and hard as possible. I always thought that was pretty funny, just get that 747 as vertical as possible and enjoy the ride down!

    Might as well know that way you could plan a few things and maybe thwart it :)

    I've gone back and forth with this question in my own head for years.... I
    can see benefits and downsides to both scenarios. To date, I've not made
    up my mind.

    Since childhood, my *worst nightmares* have involved being moiderized by utter and complete morons. You know - the real "basic" types with "rules" that are black/white. As such, it should be noted it does much more harm than good to "outwit" them.

    -

    So, were you presented with the above scenario, would you rather;

    Know full well you were being done in by blissfully ignorant dimwits within the hour?

    Or be blissfully ignorant of your impending demise?

    Up until a few years ago, I've become aware of the painfully obvious and that is, we all die. Like it or not, it's going to happen so rather than get all worked up about it, I just accept it as one of life's alternate gifts. It makes no difference to me if it should be within the hour, the month, several years out, at some point I'm going to eat the big one and that will be that, my problems are officially over, but until then, I'm going to live it to the fullest. So, if it's within the hour, it had better be the best. Just like a board game, eventually, at the end, everything goes back into the box.

    I have a close friend who is dying and doesn't have a lot of time left. The only difference between he and I at this point is that he is actually waiting for it.

    I don't think I would care either way.

    Yeah, I would want to know so I could max out all my credit cards & buy everything in sight I ever wanted or get by faking whatever needed as to maximize my purchases. Maybe I would check out a Lambo. Oh yeah! Ford GT40, for sure (done my sisters Viper). 1969 Camaro for kicks. I could go on.
