Category: Let's talk
I guess this does slightly go along the lines of predicting the future in my turn back time topic, but .. let's say you woke up one morning, and there was someone standing at the foot of your bed, and they told you that today would be your last day. in 24 hours, you will die. knowing this, what would you do with your last 24 hours? and what would you eat as your last meal on earth.
I would probably cause as much disruption to normal society as possible because they couldn't do much about it once I was dead. I'd make my last day one everyone would remember even if before then they didn't know who I was. I'd do things which would grab headlines long after my death.
I would tell him to feck off and continue with my life as usual..
I'd go to my friends to say goodbye to all of them personally, to my family. My last meal - hm, I love so many things!! Rice with chicken and curry - really hot.
I think I'd tell the morbid spector where to stick it. Then I'd probably do the standard thing, run around after all the friends and family and tell them all the mushy crap, since there'd be no tomorrow to be embarrassed about it in. I'd find a beach somewhere in there, whether I'd have a huge, day-long beach party, or perhaps just spend my last hour by myself where ocean meets land, I'm not sure. The last meal would be curry, and there would be icecream somewhere on my adgenda.
ide say all my goodbyes to family and friends, then go about my day as normally as i could, with the thought i would die in 24 hours in the back of my mind. my last meal on earth would be my moms tasty chicken flautas, mmm!
I'd meet someone I haven't met yet; I couldnt accept to die without meeting this person. Then, I'd say goodbye to every1 and maybe I'd say everything I hadnt dared to say before.
I'd say a long long farewell to my mom, and spend all the next 24 hours with her, and my last meal on earth would be my favorite, a cheese burger with matonaisse, and french fries and a small coke.
wonderwoman
I'd end up on a desert island and be limitted to bring five or ten favorite things of my choosing. It is not known what person or entity would limit me to that many things, but nevertheless, there you go. While stranded on this desert island with my limitted number of favorite things, I would plot gruesome revenge against whoever invents hypothetical questions. Since I will not be able to exact my revenge with only 24 hours left wasted on this island, my ghost will haunt them until they are driven insane! LOL!
Good question. I'd video tape my goodbye to my family and friends, leave it somewhere where it can be seen and then go to a somewhat relaxing deserted beach and relax, enjoy the sun, blue skies, light breeze and the crashing of the waves. Maybe tan, walk along the water, shell hunt and all. And then have a quiet meal (can be anything) at home in my favorite place and make my place feel relaxing, soothing and serene and let nature take its toll.
Yeah I agree, the day should be pretty normal appart from saying goodbye and eating the greatest meal.
well ... good byes aren't really my thing so I don't think I'd go there. actually, I think i'd live the day as I live every other day, after all, today could well be my last day on earth, or tomorrow, or the next day, or I could live for another 70 years. I guess what it comes down to is this. We should live every day as if it's our last, because one day, there won't be a tomorrow.
Without saying goodbye to those you love? Sorry SB, but I can't believe that really. Of course you might say goodbye to those who you really love. I am sure everyone would do that.
but ines my point was that we never know when our time is up really. we could die tomorrow, or we could die in 50 years. So in reality we should always behave as if today is our last, and should always behave in a way towards those we love as if we're never going to see them again ..
That's true, I totally agree. But on the beginning of this topic you said someone would tell you that you'd only have 24 hours left. So if this was the case, I could not behave normal anymore.
I fail to believe the sincerity of that as there is none
Hmm, would probably spend the day writing songs .. figure this type of news would be a big musical inspiration. I think I'd dispense with the dramatic goodbyes, I don't really see the point in them so I'd probably video tape a general goodbye commanding my friends and family to consider it a happy occasion that I passed on, hopefully to a better place, to remember me but no grieving, and try and make my funeral somehow a fun occasion, make it tinto a bbq or party or something because I would hate for people to sit there and be sador bored or something, I'd want them to remember me and imagine I was in their midst (which I spiritually would be) having another pina kolada and singing Britney Spears songs.
Well a general goodbye is a good compromise. You would avoid tears but still could say goodbye to everyone. Good point!!
And I'd tell them not to be too sad and just live on, because some people just cry and are sad many, many weeks after someone's death. Of course it's hard but - life goes on, doesn't it?
