Greetings ~ Wishing everyone a pleasant Tuesday today!
Kind of in a philosophical-ish type mood today:
You are offered the opportunity to learn accurate information about your future, if you choose to accept it.
Would you rather...
Learn the date of your death, but not the cause?
OR
Learn the cause of your death, but not the date?
No godmoding; So no "Boths" or "Neithers" allowed
(And there wouldn't be anything one can do to prevent it)
I think I would rather know the date. It is risky, since you could get a date as soon as next week which would be distressing, but could also get decades from now, like in my 90's or something.
If I were to know the cause, such as a car accident, murdered or a specific type of illness, I reckon I would be paranoid about going into a car, suspicious of everything or fussing over alleged symptoms all the time even if they could be far away. Not really a way to live in retrospect. Plus, I find I am more scared about how I would die (Painful, for example) instead of death itself. Granted, there is a chance to hear good stuff as well, like being told you will have a very peaceful and positive end.
