Want to know when you'll die?

Here in the imagination emporium exist a machine in the center of the facility that can accurately provide the date of your death. The machine does not provide the details with how or why but with a simple finger prick the machine will eject a ticket which provides the exact date of your demise. It cost only a single token and before taking your DNA sample you must select, YES OR NO?

......

I presume most will choose no. I am afraid to die and think if I had this knowledge, it may change my behavior drastically.

You know, some saints die before their physical bodies do. This is something to aspire to through true Sadhana. And they have found that when that death occurs to the ego it is seen that death itself is an illusion. In that state they say you were never born in the first place. Only the illusory self takes birth and suffers death.

Eric, I am very much afraid of death too. That is because we are egos, naturally.
