Suppose you found out that your life is ending tomorrow at around 12 mid-night. What are the things you want to do before mid-night tomorrow?
@ Khairey.....This thread is not meant to discuss about the inevitability of death and how to escape from it. Rather, I want to know what people's priority are when there is not much time left.
Uji why don't you say what you would do then we'll tell you.
ma ta bibhinna kisim le moj garthe (I will leave it to your wild imagination)! :)
@ujl Then you are choosing a wrong scenario to discuss about the priorities even if it is hypothetical. IMO, choosing death as a scenario on how people priorities their things in their last moment is itself wrong. Again, there are priorities if you have multiple things to do. In case of "inevitable" death there would be only one thing; to avoid the death and the concept of priority just does not exist at that moment.
Every-time I see these kind of topic or thread, it always makes me think how vulnerable our life is. All those sleepless night we spent and all those hard work all those scarifies we make may mean nothing because you may never see tomorrow or next 5 min.Death obviously frightened us and no matter what if it has to happen it will happen and we can do nothing about it. If i were to die i would do everything i can do do what always interested me. Be around with the people that means a lot with me. I may die but those ppl who are lucky enough to live will have a reason to make their life much better than what they have. This is a sentimental prospective,
Now lets move on to adventurous prospective. Rob a Bank and spread it all over the street that's something interesting.So what cops kills you,you are gonna die anyway. Or drink hard forget that you are dieing and do what you do after you get drunk, puke, sleep in the streets or hit on some girls or whatever. That would make my last night worth it. The bottom line is even though people know they are dieing and if they could forget that fact for a moment i guess it would be the most most beautiful and amazing thing any one will ever want to do in that moment.
@bokaman....I think I will cook daal, bhaat, tarkari and eat with some pure ghee! Then I will sleep.
@Khairey...I totally understand what you mean to say. But here the bitter scenario is that "Yamadoot came and told you, hey Khiarey, pack you bag, it's time to fly to the death zone by tomorrow. I will give you 24 hours, do whatever you please!
@Mikel......Yes, life is fragile.
I would do some nasty thing to my girlfriend till tommorow night!!!!!!
Going with Yamadoot with a bag pack is not a death. It sounds more like adventure.
Anyway, your question reminds me of one movie I saw in Netflix where bunch of people do some interesting thing of their own when they all know the end of the world. One goes for marathoon till the end, another have sex with his teacher, one trying to reach family end up spending time with stranger, and so on. I could not recall the name of movie though. That was the case when you know everyone is dying for sure. If something similar happen, I will spend that 24 hrs reading this thread as it will be span several thousands posts long for sure.
@pirka, you avatar left a big crack on my screen.
I'll make OP drink Kool Aid coz he needs it badly
i'll start climbing mt everset.
@mancini....nice one. However, might not be feasible if you are in the US because 24 hr is not enough for doing all this.
impregnate as many women as i could !
Most expensive alcohol and good qualitychurchurot with good quality dal bhat tarkari and mashu
Guys, please be genuine. This is also part of my Psychology Research Paper.
I feel, the answers given here for the situation asked are all invalid. If you know for sure that you going to die after few hours, you mental state will be totally different from it is now. As said, people can never be afraid of death as it is unknown, what we are afraid is to lose the known. In this scenario, most likely we will have 3 options, one i will be very afraid and will try to avoid it (i mean not face it) through many ways, another i might try to correct things and relations that can be corrected in this short period of time (It is also really a form of scape), the other I will be completely passive and observe how the each moment presents itself. If possible i will chose the third.
@ paradox....I simply don't understand why people are scared of death? Can someone illumine me please?
उजी ब्रो, मृत्यु प्रति तेत्रो निर्भिकता र प्रेम छ भने किन आलिङ्गन नगर्नु, बेकार दुनियालाई preaching गर्नु को साटो? कि कसो?
People are not afraid of death. They are just afraid of unknown after death. If you are uncertain of any event then you are afraid with pain of not knowing it. It is a nature of human being to want to know everything. It is just the degree of unknown that is most during this event we know as death, and hence the pain even when just thinking about death.
A yogi can see what was before birth and what is after death with his psychic vision! Death should be taken as an opportunity to enter to a new world not an end.
