would we want to know how long we have? how would we behave differently? would we forget and continue by habit just the same? we might just stop, for knowing the end, why bother, but we might forget the end and carry on, oblivious and knowing. to know the time is short and not know when, there may be a balance, like walking. i'd like to think we'll know something new when we get there. i'd like to always keep walking.
