The Bucket List

Alright so last night I saw The Bucket List. And I'm writing about it because...well I have no idea what else to write. So yeah, it's about these two guys who meet each other in the hospital because they both have cancer. One of the men, played by Morgan Freeman, is the one who originally starts making the list of things to do before 'you kick the bucket', aka die. He lists various things that lead to both men traveling around the world together so accomplish these things since they were told they both had 6 months to a year to live. And that brings me to my question....would you want to know when you were going to die? I mean yeah, if you have a set time frame as to when you might die, you could do all the things you never did; you could do adventurous things before you die. But then when that time rolls around, then what? You just sit around waiting to die? I know I wouldn't want to wait till I die. Just sitting around being afraid to die, or what's going to happen when I leave. How many people will be hurt; what impact I had on people. I bet some people when they first think about it, would be like "oh I would want to know so I do everything I wanted to do before I go". But then you think about the people in your life and the things you have. Most people then probably wouldn't want to know when they're going to be gone. So would you want to know the exact time as to when you would die, or would you just let time take a toll and live every moment as if it were your last?
