This thought has been in my mind for a while and I'd thought I'd ask you guys, if you were given the chance to know your exact specifics of when you'll meet your maker for only ten minutes would you like to know? In those 10 minutes you can write it down, but after that time is up you'll completely forget about it. Yes or no? And why?
For me, personally I'd like to know, I'd find it intriguing to know just exactly will be my cause of death. Of course I'll try and write it all down, but once the time frame past I'd most likely think all of this was some sort of descriptive journal on a nightmare that just occurred the night prior. But I digress, yes it'll be probably horrifying to know, but it would I think it'll be pretty calming to know just how exactly my last hours are going to be.. whether I fall in a coma or happen to go in a car crash.
Nope not a chance. I would go through life avoiding a certain situation because of the fear that it might be the time, and if it was a bad way to go, I would always be living with the sickening fear that it could be coming up. Humans can survive for time without food or water, but without hope there is nothing.
Minority Report!
There's an episode of Futurama with a similar premise.
