If you knew without any doubt that you had a year to live.

What would you do with your time?

Who would you reach for?

What would be your main focus?

What will you leave when the year is up?

What are you falsely accusing me of?


Are you literally wanting me to die within a year?

Mind looking at this? Either im misreading what debbie said or they are falsely accusing me of dying in a year?

I'd probably give up on any ideas of creating anything great,

Though I might still fool around with some ideas for the sake of amusement.


I might eat a lot more food, play a lot more video games, go out more to look at forest trails, beaches, blue skies, mountains, and the moon.

Might also change 'nothing in everything I currently do. Unsure.


Four outlier possibilities are,

1 Desperately seek the truth of existence by talking with people in person of what they believe and why,

2 Desperately try to do good in world, by helping others, not minding if I risk my life (Not out of belief in afterlife, but wanting to have made a difference for good in the world that is)

3 Desperately try for good in the world by evil works.

4 Desperately try for evil and/or fame in the world by evil works.

Probably myself.

Most likely some money and possessions to friends and family,

Also regret, but I expect to regret no matter my age or achievements when I die someday.


I suppose I might leave some fond memories to friends an families,

Maybe I've help some strangers and acquaintances in small ways over the years,

Hopefully had some small positive influences on others.


Hard to say what outcomes result from actions,

Big or small actions, outcomes vary.


Big things can strongly help or hurt people.

Small things can strongly help or hurt people.

Big things can little help or hurt people.

Small things can little help or hurt people,


Long outcomes hard to guess,

Even small changes in direction can lead to more than we know.

I guess that most folk would strive for a solution and be thus consumed.


It's a survival thing.

What will you leave?


A box of decaying goo or a decorative urn full of ashes.

When I do die someday,

Might be neat if they used my body for something artful, but not so useful as science.


Turn me into paint, then paint a canvas of me when I was last alive,

Turn my bone into dice,

Encase my body in molten bronze and polish out a statue,

Bury me in the Earth and plant a tree in my body,

Something cool.

I've always liked the idea of being taken somewhere remote, and left there to be devoured by scavengers.

You have suicidal aspirations.

You have a morbid obsession with death.

You all know that the Universe was an experiment to see if intelligent life could be created. It was a failure.

That was why A.I. was created as a life saving substitute.

Death.


Such is a short term solution


In a long term universe.

@SergeantLynch

That’s why people turned to the afterlife to extend their experience.

Edit post

#20 •••
@Debby

To add to their momentary experience.


And then they made a sandwich and a cup of tea.


And then did other stuff.


None of which was likely to add many minutes.


Might even have aided their demise.

Why do you trivialize everything?

@Debby

Remember that Stephen Hawking said he doesn't believe in an afterlife and that heaven is a "fairy story for people afraid of the dark." 

Edit post

No change; no need to change, and I fear nothing. My bucket list is fulfilled. I'm a happy guy, living for others, now.

If it's an hour left, I'm delighted. I pity Stephen Hawking's pessimism.

Because a universal nanosecond of human existence, is what it is.


Though trivia is satire is trivia.


So get up, urinate, defecate, ablute, drink, eat, urinate, work perhaps, urinate, drink, eat, urinate, work again perhaps, urinate, drink eat, relax, watch TV, drink, snack, urinate, ablute and so to bed.


Oh...I just thought about the afterlife, have sex, urinate...Nighty Night sleep tight.

So you were removing your jacket so you could in your own words, “urinate, defecate, ablute, drink, eat, urinate, work perhaps, urinate, drink, eat, urinate, work again perhaps, urinate, drink eat, relax, watch TV, drink, snack, urinate, ablute and so to bed.”

@Debby

It's the way it goes.


Though one has learned the art of urination and defecation expulsion, without the need for jacket removal.


Nonetheless the latter does require a certain level of fabric clearance from the exit port.


I dare say that women operate on a similar level when dressed...Though the former perhaps requires a certain level of clearance activity to avoid ongoing dampness, odour and discomfort...Am I correct?



I do take my jacket off in bed, when sleep is the objective.

But taking off your jacket to show your deformed boob has not been explained.

Though I doubt that the moderators would stand for a shot of my scrotal asymmetry.

So you have other deformed parts you would like to show. No thanks.
