Me? I'd shit my pants!

Honestly, if there's anything i'm afraid of in my life, that's these kind of things; because of the fact that every single thing could disappear in just few minutes.

Re: What would you do?

A good question! It comes down to the simple question: what is the most important thing in your life. For me that would be my family. That's why I would want to be with my family if it happened but since that is impossible in only one hour, I would call them and keep the line open until the end.

Anyway let's hope that there will never be a situation like this.

Re: What would you do?

True, Mikael, true...

Since i have 2 small kids, i'm really scared even to think about that. Of course i'd spend my last minutes with them, but could i watch that? Absolutely no!

Call me crazy, but i'd probably shoot myself in the head.

Re: What would you do?

Good question Saša. I've thought about this before and how I'd react to such a situation and the truth is, I'd stay calm. I wouldn't be afraid - no BS.

I'd talk to a few of family members (Dad & Aunt) and then put on some of my favourite tunes. And I'd sit there captivated by the music's glory and what it means to me: the memories, the joy, the happiness. No doubt, my father is the most important thing in my life, but by allowing myself to slip into a musical state I'd be able to spark old memories of most everything I've loved and desired in my life.

That's exactly what I'd do.

Re: What would you do?

Good post, man!

I'd probably do the same if i wasn't married..

But, i'm in totally different situation and not in a position to act like that.

Re: What would you do?

1. I'd call all my family living around the world.
2. Have the biggest orgy/party!
3. Come back to my house and meet up with my whole family.
4. Pray together as we all die.

and i wont be left to be sad for someone else..
so i would have done some crazy stuff..
get high on opium and have sex... HAHAH j/k

Re: What would you do?

A single hour would be a too short time to do anything really meaningful or profound, so I'd probably just make myself a drink and think about all the good things that I got to experience.
Unless I were the only person to know that we're all going to die, I don't think I'd be able to get to my family or even reach them on the phone - there'd be quite a few people with exactly the same idea out there. I'd rather die alone with some dignity than amongst a ton of panicky strangers.
