To die is perfectly normal
But what would you do when your hour of death has come and you’d know it? What would you do if you would know when you are going to croak? What would you do if you would know that in 60 minutes you will drop dead? What would you do if you would know that you will decease next month? What would you do if you would know that in exactly 1 year your life will be over?
What would you do during that time? Would you panic? Feel sorry? Think? Talk? Hug? Enjoy it? Keep quiet? Act as usual? Have regrets?
And what will your last words be, if you had the chance to think about it beforehand? Will it be something deep? Something hope giving? Something trivial? Something lovingly? Something sad?
Some famous last words:
- "Wait a second." (Pompadour, Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise d'Etoiles)
- "Friends applaud, the comedy is over." (Beethoven, Ludwig van)
- "It's very beautiful over there." (Edison, Thomas A.)
- "Good night." (Gordon, George, Lord Byron)
- “It has all been very interesting.” (Mary Wortley Montagu)
- “I am about to, or I am going to, die. Either expression is used.” (Dominique Bouhours, grammarian)
- “Does nobody understand?” (James Joyce)
- “The rest is silence.” (Hamlet)
