i have been kicking this idea around for a while now and it eventually comes up in conversations at some point....
if it were possible, would you want to know the date of your death?
most folks have said no, but i think it would be an interesting reference point on where you are in life. that way you can slide into the grave with no regrets in life. now i'm not saying ones life is predetermined or fated, as may be indicated by knowing ones "expiration date" as it were, and being one to look at life from a more Quantum level as each action has an outcome on the end results. believe me, i can go waaaay off tangant on this one.
but, back to the topic at hand. if you knew that you had, say... twenty years to go. what would you do differently, what experiences would you seek out now, rather than putting them off for "some day" (and we all know that "some day" never comes) for a lot of folks when they reach the end of the road on life regret not taking advantage of the opportunities they had and putting off things tel later and now they can't do it. most regrets are not for the things that we do in life, but for the things we don't do.
so, what are you putting off tel 'later'?
