Poll: If you only had a limited amount of time to live, would you want to know?

Question

I just read a question from someone who said they only had four months to live. If you were in the situation, would you want to know? It could be good so you could see your family and friends and do something you always wanted to do but never got to. But then again, you couldn't live your normal life and you'd always be worried about when you're going to die. So would you want to or not?

Answer 1

no it would haunt me EVEN if it was so far away

Answer 2

You know don't we all just have a limited time here on earth?  But in regards to having only four months to live;  if I knew I had only 4 months to live, I guess it would give me time to get my affairs in order, make amends to those I should, forgive others, ask others for forgiveness, and make peace with my Creator.  If we worry about when we are going to die, that isn't living is it?

Answer 3

About 6 years ago, I lost my mom suddenly and the next week, my friend lost his mom to a long bout with cancer. We discussed which was worse, going suddenly or slowly. As it turns out, going suddenly is less painful for everyone involved.

Answer 4

As a child I was nearly drowned - two friends died in the incident but I was saved.

In military service I have been shot and stabbed and survived.

I survived a bad car accident and eventually recovered fully.

I have a medical condition with a 15% chance of survival for 5 years and had it for over 25 years!!!

I have on two separate occasions been given 3 months and 6 months to live and come through it all!!

I play 18 holes of golf, 8 hours of tennis and 20 K every week. On top of that I swim and walk nearly every day.

If I was a Christian I have no doubt there would be claims of several miracles but I am not and have survived with the help of medical science and a healthy lifestyle!!!

Miracles are only necessary for the weak!!!

You need to know because a positive attitude, changes in diet and behaviors can and do work!!

Answer 5

no it'd make life all phony and pathetic.
