I think knowing one's time of death (ETD aka expected time of death) makes a difference. The difference depends on exactly how many days there are left to live. For example, knowing you have 7 days to live would result in different behaviour than knowing you have 1000 days to live. And furthermore, one's behaviour would depend on the existence of any dependants and whether or not one cared for them in any meaningful way. Luckily the only people who know their exact time of demise are those waiting for execution and those contemplating suicide. A rather morbid topic. daddy's boy
