What do you assume you'll do before you die?

Asked by 6rant6 (13705points) February 23rd, 2010

There are plans and there are hopes. And then there are just things we assume we’ll accomplish or visit, or experience.

What is it that you don’t even think about, you’re so sure it’s going to come to pass?

Theres been like 3 questions that ask similar things so I’ll just repeat an old answer.

I’d run to my crush’s house just before the end, tell her I loved her more than I loved anything else in my whole life, and that if there was life after this, Id like to spend it with her. Hug her, kiss her, and look into her eyes till we die.

sorry mom and pops

The typical… having a family, a home, and a job :P Well, so long as things go planned…

Thinking about it though, I don’t think there is anything I aspire to do and become that is extraordinary… I just want to learn and teach… good things..

A bottle of scotch, a pistol and a walk in the woods.

BoBo1946's avatar

@stranger_in_a_strange_land no no and no…life can be good again!

partyparty's avatar

@BoBo1946 Can I watch with you LOLL

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@BoBo1946 I’m not planning on doing it anytime soon. If I was faced with a debilitating condition, that is my preferred exit. I refuse to give up my freedom or become dependant on others.

BoBo1946's avatar

@partyparty lmao…would NOT need any help!

BoBo1946's avatar

@stranger_in_a_strange_land it will get better….been there! but, worse!

Hold my great grandkids and great-grandkids.

Silhouette's avatar

@stranger_in_a_strange_land I have something similar in mind. I’m going to do heroin, lots and lots of heroin. One thing I’m sure I won’t do is lay up in a hospital and rot by degree. My family would all be willing to put their lives on hold to care for me but I won’t let that happen. There is a limit to how burdensome I’m willing to be. They put up with my stupid jokes, they deserve a break.

I assume I will experience the 2 remaining items on my bucket list.

Dr_Dredd's avatar

@erichw1504 You got me beat on that one! I’ll be 90, and nobody would let me on a spacecraft at that age. (Although, all 4 of my grandparents lived to be at least 90, and two are still alive in mid-90’s now. So you never know. Maybe I’ll be one of those really fit 90 year-olds, and they’ll make an exception for me. :-) )

CMaz's avatar

Stop masturbating.

Actually, that is what will eventually kill me.

I will have a gallery by the sea :)

@ChazMaz I’d love to see that death certificate.Cause of death… err….

Judi's avatar

I have always thought I had a responsibility or a destiny to change the world. At 48 I haven’t done it yet, but I am working on a few non profit ideas.
How old was Mother Theresa when she started?

CMaz's avatar

@ucme – Yea, cause of death:

Penile Spontaneous combustion.

ucme's avatar

@ChazMaz On the gravestone “He was overcome” God bless!

MrGV's avatar

Would you believe me if I told you I was immortal?

CMaz's avatar

What? Masturbation?

Only if you are doing it and thinking of your sister/brother.

Ok, time to change the subject.

@ChazMaz Pinocchio got a bit older and went to Geppetto for some advice
“You know I have a girlfriend right?” asked Pinocchio.
“Sure, I do,” replied Geppetto.
“Well, we wanted to have sex but she said she was getting splinters.”
“Here,” said Geppetto, handing him some sandpaper. “Just rub your dooly down and smooth it out. Everything will be fine.”

Some time later Geppetto caught up with Pinocchio.
“Hey, Pinocchio, how’s it going with your girlfriend?”
Pinocchio replied, “Who needs a girlfriend?”

I assume I will get married and have children that outlive me. That’s about all I assume aside from trying to enjoy life.

candide's avatar

There are many things I would hope to have accomplished before I die, but I can’t really say I “assume” I’ll do them; I never assume anything.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I’ve seen too many relatives live to great ages in a debilitated condition. If I can’t live independently and be making some contribution to the world, it’s time to go. Occupy my six feet of earth next to my beloved wife and make room for others.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’ll continue to pay a lot more taxes. Probably more than necessary but it’s not up to me, unfortunately. I least I don’t think it is.

susanc's avatar

Put my affairs in order. (That would be a first.)

DarkScribe's avatar

Everything.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I don’t assume anything. I hope to have another child, get a PhD, live a long life with my husband, etc.

Berserker's avatar

Puke blood everywhere and-oh wait no…hopes and dreams…

I don’t know. Only time ill tell, whether there’s much of it left for me, or little at all. There’s plenty of things I hope to do, but I can’t say I assume that I’ll do them, you never know what could happen, or not happen. As well, I’ve never set the looming hand of death as any kinda detrimental factor for any long term goals I may have.

Master's avatar

Get over my fears and be who I am.

tinyfaery's avatar

No assumptions here. All I know is I will live until I die.

CMaz's avatar

@DarkScribe – Where have you been? Nice to see you back. :-)

Strauss's avatar

@Judi It’s never too late to change the world. You don’t have to be a Mother Theresa or Ghandi, just take their advice. You can be the change. Big changes start small.

See peace and happiness.

Breathe, pay taxes, and a bunch of other things.

CyanoticWasp's avatar

Orgasms up the wazoo.

Wait… maybe I should rephrase that.

CMaz's avatar

Usually before you die, you piss yourself. Expelling your bodily contents.

candide's avatar

@lloydbird that’s quite a big assumption

lloydbird's avatar

@candide If you’re gonna “assume”.......

erichw1504's avatar

@ChazMaz Well then, you should have a lot of bodily fluids to expell… then again, maybe not.

Peinrikudo's avatar

I’ll probably live.

DarkScribe's avatar

ChazMaz DarkScribe – Where have you been? Nice to see you back. :-)

Thank you. I have had a number of issues that kept me away for a few months – career, health issues related to an accident, a death the extended family and the aftermath. All in hand now. Nice to be back.
