If we all knew what day we were going to die
it'd help with our planning, wouldn't it?
we could map out our days, maybe say:
No, I don't want to, I can't spare the time!
Yes, that sounds like it'd be worth--
Okay, you can have twelve days
Oh, I can't spare more than--!
wouldn't it help to know?
it's a cruel fact that we just don't have the vaguest idea
don't know how many days or years we're talking about
I suppose one could make a projection
and a day/month/year budget of time
based on average ages of death
and family health issues
projections of natural disasters
projections of surprise endings
but most people don't!
