24 Hours To Live

March 4th 2009 22:29
24
With news this week that a sizable chunk of rock came within spitting distance of the Earth - and scientists trying to calm our nerves by suggesting that we would have 24 hours notice to evacuate any 'predicted' impact zone - the thought occured to me - what would you do if we all only had 24 hours to live?

Short and sweet.

I think that if we were really facing that situation; the one thing that we would all want to do would be to tell the people we love that we love them. Unless we were a sociopath or psychopath, that is.

It's the first thing that comes to mind isn't it . . . and generally something we all put off telling people - I wonder why?

I would be probably gathering with my loved ones and praying for the rest of our times..., Mr. Nice Guy!

Sin Like the devil for 23hrs.
Repent in the last hour and have beaten the system.

That's good, Damo.

Me, I'd throw a big party and I could tell everyone in person what I was going to leave them.

Movies and Life
Well, I'm a pig...my first thought was to eat all the food I would normally ration for fear of ending up looking like Ten Tonne Tessie.

Then after that I would spend as much time as possible with friends, family and pets.

Oh and I'd probably burn/get rid of any writing about people that I didn't want anyone to read. Y'know those frustrating moments where you just want to vent and writing works well.

Byee

I too would tell my loved ones how much they mean to me, but I'd also like to think that I'd spend some time doing the things I enjoy; nature walks, sipping rum, my husband..

And yes, I did mean "doing" my husband

Most likely though, if I'm being honest, I'd spend a considerable amount of time in a complete state of panic.

Well, if we we're all going to die I wouldn't bother with my loved ones (I don't think)... it would probably just make me sad.

Instead I'd go and get shit-faced, snort a bucket load of coke and sing and dance my way through the streets... hopefully in the company of some scarcely clad hunks!

Then again, I can do that any day of the week, so maybe I'd just sit at home and try getting through that list of '100 Movies to see before you Die!!!'

You're mellowing in old age - though 15 minutes would have been tops in your books . . .

Just make sure the party runs to time . . . and no-none's running late.

All those journals, diary entries and harsh words you'd love to make amends for . . . what do they say? The spent arrow and the spoken word . . .

Yep . . .

I think you hit the nail on the head - the immediate panic would need to be quelled before rational thinking set in.

A sad little tale I have to recount from a few years ago - when a mate I spent a deal of time with was on a holiday with his 'soon to be fiancee' when we heard the plane had crashed in the Phillipines - with no survivors. When we saw the photographs of him on the news as 1 of the Aussies killed - a few of us got together and wondered what would've been going through his mind when he knew the fate that awaited them both? Hope? Prayer? Futility?

Sorry to be such a downer - but with the anniversary of the death so close - I felt it prudent to vent.

Stay well - and speak soon

You want to be careful of snorting Coke - the bubbles play havoc with your sinuses . . .

It'd be awful to do something reckless, then have the asteroid miss the Earth, leaving you stuck with your sins!
