Is there anyone here, who knows when he will die?

Actually the way you questioned was NOT intelligent

okay now I understand why you questioned… it’s because you are attending lectures on it.

I don’t think, there was anything foolish about the way, i questioned. Think about it, anybody can be in a similar position, where due to some illness, he knows that he is going to Die in very limited amount of time.

Since you are American, you might be aware of the Famous Last Lecture of an American Professor, which got a worldwide fame. He knew he is going to die in few months, but he was a very different man, than usual. The video is available on you tube.

I’m interested in how typical men, like me, behave for such a news…

@NJMasti

I think you wanted to just find out on what people think about death, and NOT about “how” they will die.

I had taken a course on “Death and After Life”, and it had really opened up a whole new view point for me on death.

No, I don’t want to find out what people think about death, i know that already, they fear death, and associate it with pain, loneliness and nothingness.

But the one who knows he is going die in a given is different, i’m interested in feelings of such person, i.e. how such a person feels and importantly how he/she tend to change his life.

By the way, what was in that course that you taken, was it a religious kind of course ? as the word after life suggesting so..

Yes it’s true it’s a taboo. It’s a taboo to talk about death ONLY because we fear of losing a loved one.

However, I strongly believe that death should be talked about, because everyone dies one day. Talking about death helps overcome “some” issues that we fear.

I like it how other cultures “celebrate” the lives of the dead.

Right now, a political figure, Ted Kennedy died. No one is talking of demise but they are talking of “celebration” of his life.

I feel comfort in that.

I like this response as well, one should celebrate the life of the one who died.
