If you could live the next 25 years of in total content and bliss but on the very last day of those 25 years you'd surely die, would you do it?

Explain

No, I don't think I would. I just don't think it would be possible to be content, knowing when it's my time to go.

I'm content as it is, living my life as I am, not knowing my time to die.

Absolutely. In fact, sounds like what I've always thought that it SHOULD be like. Ironically, it's shaping up to be exactly like that after all, so I really can't complain.

I'd have to agree with the whole dying aspect,I don't want to know when my number is up so the whole 25 years I would be miserable knowing for sure on that specific date I would die. I honeslty think people would become better people knowing there time was up. Thats just it though, you never know but tomorrow is never promised to us.....

Ahhhh, but the question presupposes that this phenomenon would somehow even allow you to be ok with thought of knowing about your final day. Or maybe when your wish is granted you'd forget about the deal.

Point is - no matter what, you'd be content and/or in total bliss

Hell no... the spice of life would be missing.

You'd be probably bored out of your mind after 4 years and in the 7th year, you'd start looking for ways to get out of this devils bargain...

We are not designed to be content for a very long time, we need excitement, dangers, change and challenges. Only that way we grow as humans and our souls as well.

are you saying that I've been living a lie for the past 7 years? lol - just kidding

However I will say this - one can argue that excitement can certainly fall under the "content" umbrella. It ought not be assumed that only adversity presents challenges.

Also, for some people even some hardships are not viewed as burdensome - as such, they would not necessarily be bored all the time and can, thus remain content.

just a thought

Hell yeah. I'll most likely kill myself before next 25 years come to an end anyway. I hate old people and will do all in my power to not become one. Freaking grumpy miserable creatures. I choose death to becoming one of them.

I think that knowing I would live for 25 years guaranteed? and happy? Oh sure, why not. No lingering illnesses, no getting too old...wouldn't be a long time but a guarantee. I am not afraid of the next life or lack thereof. I try to live everyday and take it to the next level. Or maybe I don't want to know when I am going to die?

I mean really, living your life in content is your choice. There is always the chance that you are going to die the next day. "Live everyday of your life like it's your last". I mean yes, you do get alot of "speed bumps" on the way, but really happiness is a choice!

You are hating on me like crazy! I am not a positive FREAK, but just an optimist! I wasn't called sunshine on my cheerleading team for no reason! It's a general truth though!

Well, statistically, I probably haven't got 25 years left, as things stand, so it'd be a win win situation for me, and I'd be an idiot not to do it.
