Knowing The Exact Hour Of Your Death Is Too Much Truth.
Let's see if it goes through this time. Those who want to know every truth there is, would you want this? It would have a profound impact on your life.
I wouldn't want to know any of my future, let alone my death. Besides, you're implying that there
is a fixed time in which you will die, when there's not. There are no destinies. Choices and
decisions made every single day by every single person affect the outcome of events. If we traveled
back in time to the Holocaust and replayed events, things would turn out differently because choices
could be different this time.
I totally agree with you!! Knowing that hr would mean we wouldn't appreciate life but worry about
death!! However, let us all remember here that it is not death we are to fear but the unknown we
fear. I do however agree that knowing when one is to die, is far too much truth!!
I wouldn't so much mind knowing the hour. That's pretty arbitrary. If I knew I would die at 5:19
pm and days and weeks went by, I'd grow to care less about it.
If I knew the date the hour corresponded with, that would trouble me greatly. Death is just one of
those things I'd prefer sneak up on me.
The sure & certain knowledge of your own death is the most precious thing anyone can know - it is
what makes life truly valuable - in the knowledge of death there is no such thing as an
"inconsequential act" - the knowledge of death is your best friend, capable of clarifying the most
confusing situation - denying that knowledge allows you the time to worry about death - acceptance
of the certainty removes that worry & other wastes of time
There's no such thing as too much truth. If I could know the hour of my own death, that would be
fine with me, since I've got nothing to fear from death, why would it be a big deal? I could at
least make sure I got the things done that I wanted before I died.
