If you knew you were going to die in one week what would you do with your last week?

[Orange]

Just want to know what crazy things you would do if you knew you had to put all of your life into one week.

[Jarrod]

Continue trying to show others how to be happy, and learning more about myself.

[LifeFirst]

I wouldn't be doing anything different than what I'm doing now....seriously.

Either that or I will try to prevent my death from happening.


But if it's set to happen...then I probably wouldn't even care....

[moriez]

Id probably start telling everybody that I love them and give them bear hugs. Now hows that for crazy?!

[Old Soul]

I'd book a trip with my family... keep them close and come up with some really good insights to share with them to help through the grieving process, they deffently would be prepared by the end of the week

[Kindred]

I'd draw until my last breath, and draw some more until I couldn't hold the pencil anymore. Ironically I haven't drawn much in the last month... I need a lot of realignment.

[lasti]

Tell the people who much I love them.

[The Large Dude Scam]

This thread really reminds me of this song:
YouTube - Cruxshadows - Birthday (Custom Video)

It really made me think about how i would act if i only had a short time left to live.

[JimOfferman]

Sell the house, buy a grand piano... play outside in the sun until I drop

(minor detail: for this plan to work, I would have to be dying during the summer)

Hmmm, one week isn't enough.

In one week, I'd just call everyone I've cared for to tell them goodbye and have some final conversations with them, reminiscing over some of the wonderful things we've done together. I'd also write some posts on my blog to write down some final thoughts on life and on living that I'd love to share.

Hmmm, this exercise has been surprisingly somewhat emotional.

[Zwynd]

I took a week off of doing my usual hobbies because I felt I needed a break from them. With that said, I'd do pretty much exactly what I'm doing now.

[Sam988]

Sey up my cryonics arrangements, and then try everything at my disposal to escape death.

That seems enough time to prepare my own funeral.
So people would not have to worry about the practical side of what to do with my dead body.
And of course I would give away the few material stuff I have before I die, so that people don't have to fight about that. The non material things are things would be things that I have already given to them in my life, so in that matter they will just have to rely on what they remember of it.
So the day I die they can be free to mourn or to celebrate whatever suits them best. and don't have to worry to much about practical stuff, like to end the contract of energy supply, close down a bank account, pay the latest bills that arrive etc...I think I could fix all that from them in about a week.

[Ceros]

Sam's on the right path, cryonics really is the way to go. Though I intend to finalize my arrangements long before I have 7 days left to live.

I'd probably invest the last of my money into things like stocks and shares, just so there's a small chance of it paying off when I'm ressurected. (And yes, I wouldn't leave a penny in inheritance. For all I know, it's my relatives who are responsible for my death).

As for what I'd do with the week, I'd really love to see something beautiful outside of my computer screen so traveling is what I'd do.

Places like Tibet, Japan, Egypt, the jungle, and the deep ocean (submarines! Wooo!).

If you want to see that many places in such a short time....to try to escape death would be stupid. Without a body you could see far much more in one week, the entire universe if you want so.

[Ceros]

.to try to escape death would be stupid. Without a body you could see far much more in one week, the entire universe if you want so.

Haha, I was just thinking about this topic a few hours ago. I wasn't planning on sharing it with anyone, but since you brought it up I think I will.

In the immortalist circles that I frequent, people don't like the word "immortality" and instead prefer the phrase "indefinite lifespan", alleviating to the idea of "live as long as you want to, and only allow yourself to die when you're good and ready".

My thoughts on that? My idea of an ideal lifespan is a permanent one. Forever and ever. Nothing less.

Even when the universe collapses, time ends, and everyone's up in Heaven and is all like "Hey, Ceros, we're up in heaven and it's awesome here! Come, join us" I'd be all like "Eh, I'm good; don't wait up for me."

Because when I think about it? This world is designed to cater to my every whim and desire, including those I don't even realize that I have.

If heaven exists, I'm in it. Always have been. Always will.

[Angela]

I sure hope that would be a week during which Baskin-Robbins is offering Chocolate Mousse Royale.

[Kazeko]

I'd definitely found a way to travel to Seychelles.

You made me think again about how much I love my wife... In the past I would say "I'd definitely found a way to travel to Seychelles, even if I had to sell all of my stuff". But not now. Right the opposite - perhaps I would work like mad for the whole week in order to leave my wife with as much money as possible. And I'd buy a big insurance too...

Hmm... not too funny... To add some fun I want to remind you a moment from the "Simpsons", when Homer Jay started some PD. When he tried to live a day like his last day, he sat and cried "I don't wanna die!!!!"

[AWOL]

I'd but stones a shovel and some water. I'd construct a peaceful place. I'd then give anything left over to my friends. I would sit in front of the pool, and I would meditate. I would find peace before I die. If not, well, I'd have all eternity to do so.

[Tuumble]

I would go to the Norfolk coast and visit all the places from my childhood holidays. I'd walk in the pinewoods at Wells-next-the-sea and along the beach and just relax with my family.

What's the point of rushing around like mad thing trying to cram in stuff when in all likelihood you won't appreciate what you do and regret not doing it earlier. I'd rather just take a final look at places that brought me joy.

[flowerz]

I would


* spend every minute with my family
* tell my friends how much I love them
* relax and absorb all things around me
* watch the sky
* write an article about my life and what I have learnt

In 2000 I almost died.
Since then I have had a looooong week until today.
So if I had one week I would do exactly what I have been doing.

[backpocket]

Same thing I've been doing everyday. But I won't clean my room this time

[kazemon]

Now that someone is speaking about it I have to think

How did you almost die ar81???? but thank god you are safe

[1onewonjuan]

find a way to extend my last week to 50 years

[jfrancis]

I would tell people how beautiful they are.
I'd squeeze in as much playtime as I could.
I'd plant sugar maples.
I would try not to have a plan.

[newton]

Tell everyone I love them.
Kiss someone special.
Prepare a week worth of trance/goa/anything that makes you fly, crank up the volume and dance t'ill I drop.

[veranadine]

I would work my arse off to finish my book.

And I would spend every spare moment telling my fiance that I love him.

Crazy?

[sbdiane]

I think I would hit the trail. Spend my last days living in nature.

If not that, then I'd spend my last days hanging out at my favorite coffee place, eating fresh delicious fruit and playing music with my friends.
