Yes, I would like to know the date of my demise. The reason being is that this information could help me better plan out what I want to do with my life. Knowing how much time I got on this earth can help me better figure out the right activities I should be doing. We all have many things that we would like to do in our expected seventy-six year life span, but our lifespan is too short to be doing all the activities we want to do. We simply shorten our list of activities we want to do so they can fit into our expected life span. I say that most people’s lives are based on expectation. You expect not to die soon so you could finish school, or you expect to live long enough to see cars hover. When you know the time that you are going to die, it will change the plan you have for your life. If you are a sophomore in college and you know that you are going to die before you finish college, you may not be in college; you probably would be using your time for one of those other activities you wanted to do. College takes four years to complete but you don’t have four years. Let’s say you only have one year to live; one would probably do an activity that they wanted to do that only takes less than one year to complete. They may do an X amount of activities that can fit into the time span of one year.
For instance, if I knew that I was going to die on September 3, 2009 there are other things I would be doing right now than writing this blog, or being in school. I would be living in a tropical climate, because I always wanted to live in one. Before, I expected not to die on 09/03/09, so I held off on living in a tropical climate. I would be living in a coastal nation either in West Africa, the West Indies, Central America, or South America. I would blow all my student loan money on a plane ticket and living expenses. I would choose a nation where the American dollar is very strong so my money can go farther. My main activities would be having sex with prostitutes, partying, playing soccer, and lying on the beach basking in the sun. It would be all fun and no work for me.
If I knew that I was going to die at say 52, then I would probably stay in school, then get a job or a hustle (business owner), and I don’t know what else after that since I don’t have the rest of my life planned out. I still would have to think about what activities are right to do for this 52 year life span. I may wait until I turn 51 to party with prostitutes and play soccer in a tropical climate on the beach.
