When God Speaks

What if you were born knowing the exact date and time of your death? How might this impact your life? I can think of many reasons why or why not this would be beneficial.

If I knew the answer to this it seems to me that life would be a little boring or emotions such as joy, anticipation, goals to be reached and such would not exist. You cannot anticipate something you already know will occur. You cannot set goals because they are already set for the most part. So, you just trudge along waiting for the end.

Certain emotions like sadness, anger, grief, jealousy may not feel pleasant at the time, but I am a firm believer that nothing happens without a reason.

Everything we experience has a purpose whether it be too grow in character, develop empathy, learn to be a better person or learn to forgive and look past our own desires and learn gratitude. With knowing the date of our departure from here how would we learn all these things and more? We would operate more as robots instead of humans. Just bidding our time for the final curtain call.

There would be nothing for us to decide really because nothing can be crammed into a life with known perimeters.

Another theory is most would wait til the end to make a decision on where we spend eternity. We would party like it’s 1999, as the old song goes, then selfishness would kick in allowing us to repent and enter in. We would have gained no knowledge of how to live a life well lived. We would enter in a person with nothing good to show for our life.

With no offerings of well meaning expressed to others from ourselves, this world would be so corrupt and evil that I don’t think I would want to be a part of it. We exist for relationship with others, to give and help when possible as well as receive if needed. Our minds would be so self centered and narrow minded that relationships could not exist.

So, to know the date of our exits from Earth spells disaster in my book. Let’s keep it as it is…
