But the negative side to that is that I don't feel like you truly live every day as your last, whereas if you knew you were going to die at a certain day or a certain time, you could kind of plan it out a little bit more. You'd be able to do the things that you love, have more of an excuse to prioritize yourself and prioritize different activities. But let me know what you think

Well, Izzy, I think that's a very interesting question. And I think it's plagued mankind for years, probably even centuries. I think people are fascinated with death innately. And it's interesting. They had a horror movie come out a few years ago. Really cheesy horror movie called Countdown. And basically the film was about an app that told you how long youre going to die live and when you were going to die. And I wrote a review on Letterbox about the film

No, I don't think I want to know when I die. My mom knew when she was going to die, she had terminal cancer. If you knew you were going to die, the one good thing I would think that is you could plan for your end of life care. But other than that, no, I don't want to know. And being a woman of faith, I'm not supposed to know when I'm going to die

Oh, my God. I'm going to die. So that fear would always be there. And definitely death has to come some day. It is not something which will not happen. It is inevitable, right. But at the same time, I feel that people say that if I knew when I was going to die, then I can plan out things. I feel that I'm doing a lot of things day in, day out. And yet I never feel that okay

No, I don't think I would like to know. When I was going to die, I had an example of my mom. She had cancer that was going to kill her, and she refused to listen to the statistics. She did not want to know how many years she had or months she had. The thing she said was that she wanted to enjoy the time she had, no matter how long or how short it was. I don't think I would want to know
