If you were given an envelope with the the time and date of your death inside, would you open it?

[MenInG]

Ooh!

Terrible situation to be in but just out of interest - would you open it?

yes but it needs to be believable.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Gladly. You get to know where you stand. And then you can easily plan your life accordingly. I wouldn't be saving money today if I knew I was gonna die in a year.

No I don't think so, otherwise I couldn't live the rest of my life properly, I'll always be worrying about that date..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

I would burn the unopened letter.

 

[Abdul]

Unhesitatingly.

How do you live your life now?

 

[Syed1]

I would open it and plan my life accordingly.

A few months before the date arrives I'd be bricking...

I always used to think that if an opportunity like this would arise, I would take it. Now, I got thinking again and I don't think I would open it. I know that it's possible that I could die at any given time but if I know about it before hand, I would completely change my life. I'd like to see what I can do with my life without much outside influence. It's interesting to see how people reason their decisions.

 

[shokz1408]

How do you live your life now?

Studying.. however, I would want to continue studying and not know when I will die. It's about perspective, not opening the envelope, staying healthy and believing you will live a long life.

 

[Syed1]

What if there is a twist. What if opening the envelope brings your date of passing forward by a certain amount. Now would you open it?

Interesting, I'm not fully sure about this. I would want to know the magnitude of the difference before hand, and age at death. As we have to consider quality of life, for example, if instead of dying at 95 you die at 105, but you won't be able to do much and would require assistance with everything, would it be worth it?

The whole spice of life is in the unknown! Taking that away will 'kill' the point of living!

Wont open it. Else will be planning for that day rather than living.

 

[Hitman]

Not at all. I'll never have the courage to do so.

yes!

 

[dauntless]

Yeah! Of course!! more than anything in the world I want to know the date of my death.Used to be scared of death but not anymore.Ultimately all have to die.Death is ultimate truth.

 

[Robert]

Yes, immediately, then organise my life.

 

[DW44]

Absolutely. Need to know when my time will be up so I can live accordingly.

Also, can't resist the temptation to drop a Dota quote here: "Birth is a promise. Death, it's fulfillment."

 

[finalfantasy7]

No, I'll give it to my Mrs

 

[Justcrazy]

No.

Death being unknown is a great blessing from Allah swt.
