Dying at 84

Good or bad thing.

If you knew you were going to die at 84 would you be ok with that?

it’s weird because as 40 year old you might just be relieved to know you’re going to live another 44 years for sure.

But as a 40 year old with 70 year old parents you are thinking 84 for them is still young.

Dead at 84. Yay or nay?

 

Could end up being less...

 

Some people are (creatively, intellectually and inspirationally) dead in mind at a much younger age.
I thinks it depends on what you do with, - not how many of the years you have that count/s. IMO

 

Or you could just answer the question.

 

If i knew i was dying at 84 i would be horrified. I prefer to die young. Anywhere between after the holidays until 40 years of age. Its not because i hate life or anything like that.

 

84 seems just fine, although I would prefer 76, the national average

 

whenever it happens, no point in not being ok with it. i just hope i can be asleep or meditating and not be awakened or distracted by pain.
84 is only another 12 years for me. my dad went a year younger then i am now, and mom made it to 91, so another ten years would sort of split the difference.
as long as i can stay young, my own kind of young, in my head, right up until it happens.
i mean i'd like to live to 150, because i'd like to live long enough to see that much of the world going by and evolving.
there are things i'd like to see how they turn out, that 12 years from now isn't quite long enough to expect to.
but i guess nobody really gets to choose that either.

 

Just be happy to live to whatever age you want to be.
My natural mother passed away 31 days before her 70th birthday. But did so by not looking after her health properly.

 

Theres no point in trying to figure out how much time you have left.... you could die in the next hour or in an other 60 years. Theres ppl who make it to 110+... just live in the moment. The present is the only reality there is

 

I respectfully declined to be so specific in my response as I fell that it is not Calendar age that defines us in our ambitions and achievements, measured within a calculated time frame.

- But if you wish to push for an answer then NO - for a having a 'sell - by' date would see nothing but actions of irresponsibility.
Having a countdown to Death is not healthy, it sees one make decisions not when it is felt right (marriage, children, (sometimes lavish)(/over) spending over your means) but because time is not on one's side and therefore in haste and selfish desire..
The consequences would then fall upon others - which is something I find goes against my integrity
IMO

 

Just live for today and don't worry about it, the age old saying 'life's too short' is so true you just have to enjoy every moment

 

I remember thinking that I'd live to be 24, no matter what I did, but after that it wouldn't be long before I kicked the bucket. I'm now 71 and there's no rational explanation why I'm still alive and healthy and so many of my friends aren't.

But my answer is NO. I don't want to know the age I'll die. It would make me live my life differently, just knowing. I'm not sure I want to live another 13 years the way the planet is going these days. But I'm not quite ready to check out yet either. I do accept the inevitable end of my life better now knowing that all of my arrangements have been made and paid for. That's something all of you might consider doing. Now, if you're young, you'll change your mind too many times but, if not, go ahead and make those decisions for yourself, pay for them, and let your family off the hook.

My decision was to leave everything, and yes everything, to the local Humane Society. My remains will be picked up by the Neptune Society, burned and dumped in Biscayne Bay, FL. There will be no service, no markers, and hopefully, no obituary. I just want to be gone and forgotten.

 

i'm lucky if i make it to 68. i have friends i grew up with that didn't make it to 21. to make it to the 80s is a good accomplishment and a full life.


give me what you got, i won't complain.

 

I'll let you know when I'm dead...

 

84 would be good. My grandmother died at 84 (supposedly, but I swear she said she was 84 for 10 years ) and she lived a long, full life and was mentally sharp and physically able to get around until the day she died

I wouldnt want to live to be that old if my mind or body wasnt there anymore though

 

academically, that seems good, since i'm pretty sure it's above average. but really, i pretty much plan on living forever.

 

Very Bad.

 

How didnt they make it to 21?

Accidient, Homiside, Suicide, Drug Overdose. Which one?

 

the dumbass borrowed his friends motorcycle, without a license to drive. went over the speed limit and got hit by a driver who ran a red light. died instantly, eyes opened. no blood at the scene.
