I agree, it's like that Tim Mcgraw song "Live like you were dying". Everyday is a blessing. I wouldn't want to know because it's all I would think about and I would miss out on the important things in life. But, I do want to live each day as if it were my last

It isn't something that we are supposed to know. Yes If Iknew I could plan. But what if it wasn't the whole you will go in your sleep at 92, What if it was a you will go in a freak accedent at 30. The later would change my whole out look on life I would want to cram all the things I want to do into the next 3 years. I wouldn't want to have to prepare my child for my death.

NO Ignorance is bliss in this case especially

Are you kidding! I'm bad enough about knowing how many days it is until I go to the dentist!

No way! If I knew what day I was going to die, I'd spend all my time obsessing about it.

No Way! I can't see any positives from knowing that information. You should always live life to the fullest, no matter how much time you have left.

Nope, I am trying to make the most of what I've got NOW...I don't want the burden of knowing when...It would consume me and I know I'd always be thinking about it instead of living in the moment.

Nope, not for me. I agree about the Tim McGraw song and also Treehugger's comment to live each day.
Melsb, your comment about the dentist cracked me up!

Absolutely not. What if it was today? I don't need that kind of depression in my life.
